10. Every single one of those links includes federal money for federal personal and facilities.

In my state (AZ) 71% of the land is owned, managed and controlled by the federal government. This includes 19 Native American reservations, 7 National forests, 18 National monuments, 3 national parks, and several military bases. I guess that is part of your leech crowd, right?

Red states have more military retirees. They are eligible for federal military disability payments and pensions. They are leeches also, right. Native Americans take part in the Native American Health Program but they are leeches also, right? A lot of older people retire here and collect federal SS payments but they are just leeching off the rest of us, right?

I would love to know what you are leeching off of.
