6. You may have to google it but look up the States that send more
money TO Washington DC than they get in RETURN via Federal services.

It's pretty much the blue states as donor states and the red states as actual WELFARE states. The red states for the most part are SUBSIDIZED by the blue states. And you know why the blue states don't bitch about it? Because we're all supposed to be on the SAME GODDAMNED TEAM! I don't give a flying fuck if a mother on welfare DOES choose a Cadillac as her vehicle of choice, hell I WANT her to have the best, most reliable fucking vehicle in the world. And you know what, welfare in all it's forms costs me less than NOT PROVIDING it would. What happens when a person has nowhere to turn, is trapped in a corner? They lash out, with nothing to lose they have everything to gain and may decide to carjack my family just because, why the fuck would I want that over spending a few fucking bucks to provide some goddamned HUMANITY to my fellow earthling? Do some people ABUSE this generosity? Yes. But there are those with millions and BILLIONS of dollars that abuse there power/authority just to get a few more bucks so there are assholes at EVERY economic level. Poking a finger in everyone's eye because there are a few a-holes is ignorant.


Fuck the conservatives and their goddamned myths intended to divide those of similar economic conditions through racism, ignorance, intolerance and a sense of give me mine and fuck you and yours.
