"SNIP.....

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to give virus hit blue states aid, but his state of Kentucky is the second most dependent on federal funds.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo hammered McConnell for his state taking $148 billion more federal dollars than they put in.

It turns out that McConnell’s home state is one of the most dependant on federal funds in the entire country.

Via WKUFM:

Kentucky is ranked the second most federally dependent state in the nation.

1. As a Californian, part of me really wants

To say fuck it, no more money to the Federal Government and see how well they
do without the Donor States to kick around. Asshole knows we put in way more money in tax dollars than we get back. You wanna play this game? We can actually support ourselves. Can Kentucky? #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation. They steal and water down our votes, suck in our tax money, and then try this Disaster Capitalism crap to punish and hurt us in the middle of an international crisis. Fuck. This. Shit. Enough is enough. You will not be allowed to kill and starve us to punish us for not voting your way. There are way more of us than you, and we are economic powerhouses you moochers will be sorry you fucked with. So over it.

2. Time for the Transfer Payment Equalization Act.

No state gets any more money from the federal government than they send in via tax revenue.

3. Pull all $148 billion from KY.

Make them raise their taxes. Refund the money proportionally back to the donor states.
