cvq (below) Wow! Blame the emense poverty of the republican run states on minorities. Not surprising at all...

As a redident of the 4th largest economy in the world (I think thats what it is) California. I am tired of footing the bill for this country too. The United State of California. I like it.

Look I am not a republican or a conservative (or a dem or lib). But lets be honest the only blue states you all are talking about is CA and NY. They are the big money makers. They are our 2 states they just happen to be blue.

The point you're making is that Most blue states are tax losers, meaning they see less government money than they pay. Most Red States are tax-winners meaning they see more government spending than they pay.
What's funny thing is that Red Staters never want to pay tax but they'll NEVER give up the massive amounts of subsidies they get.

You've touched on an important point. Blue States are "give" states, while the "get" states are Red.
Here I thought the Republican'ts were for rugged individualism and against wealth redistribution? Let's see the Red staters do the right thing and give us back our money.
I'll be waiting.

Your opinion is wrong, deadly wrong, Chi Guy. Shame you're blind to it, but I thank you for your misguided question, so I can gain a measly two points, easily, without typing the truth, that you will never accept or understand. Every point counts to get to level 6.
Facts are, everyone pays for mistakes. It's a sham you don't know what the mistakes are, or who they're made by, Mr. SO-CALLED Conservative. You're not, and you know it. That is one Conservative value....Never lie like a Clinton.

Many of the "red states" have high black and/or hispanic populations. So the question has a racist tinge to it, although almost certainly unintended.

Nice generalization, sort of goes against the "all conservatives are rich and out of touch," theory now doesn't it. We all pay taxes don't we?

You mean the welfare stricken red states.
Blue states support red states.

Because this is the U.S. You don't get assessed taxes based upon idealogy.

Because the Blue states supply the educated minds who can solve the problem and then the big businesses that can pay the money back.
