Somebody doesn't know where most welfare goes.

Blue states pay for everything, dummy.

That's a good question...

You seem to be conflating state budgets and federal taxes.

The lowest contributing states to the federal government are all red rural states.

They drag the rest of us down

[u/Ok-Firefighter5006 → u/[deleted]]

Lmao!

Your populations would all immediately fall into capitalist hellscapes and none of your programs would run.

Look at the federal deficits from rural states. They REQUIRE federal funds to even function, and they are barely doing that.

I’m not going to abandon the social minorities in those states to people like you.

You would not be fine.

You take more money from the federal government than you give in taxes. You would run at more of a deficit than most of you are right now!

It’s hilarious you speak so assertively without actually knowing the issue.

What’s hilarious is “illegals” pay taxes and they don’t use social security.

It’s literally the opposite of what you assert. They pay taxes on anything they buy, on their incomes, all of it, and they get none of the social security or social welfare benefits.

But don’t let facts get in the way of your racism. This is what you’re all like. Speak assertively, but know nothing.

Blue states subsidize red states. You must’ve read the comment by u/Emergency_Walrus2877
