A welfare state is one that gets more back from the Federal goverment than it gives to the Federal government (via taxes). There have been countless reports over the past year about red states being mostly welfare states while blue states being the ones to get back less than what they give. And that includes California. Governor Christie has been pointing this out for weeks as he targeted Republican congressman from red states who were against Hurrican Sandy relief DESPITE the fact that the states those congressmen represent have been getting disaster relief for decades and despite the fact that New Jersey was a state that has given more to the country than it has recieved. Period.

If you don't like the term "welfare state" that's just too bad. Take it up with the media who has coined that term instead of getting angry at posters on this forum. Frankly I love the fact that virtually every red state in the South fit into the welfare category. This is a result of perfect karma considering during the 80s and 90s Republicans from those states were leading the charge of categorizing black people as nothing but welfare recipients.
