Red states receive more fed monies than blue states compared to what they pay-in. That's been true for a long time.
Blue state virtue signalers are the one talking about 'paying their fair share'.
But I talk about corporations paying their fare share. :) Who doesn't know y'all are sparsely populated and mostly Ag? Do you think that's some grand revelation? Enjoy firing those guns out of the great plains (actually it's a good hobby out there). We also know you have the suicide belt, which has been tied to altitude, and would like to see y'all get some help with that.
We don't mind helping y'all out under the spirit that it's one of our civic duties. Now as I remember it giving back to your community was a New England concept and you ridicule that by lumping it in with virtue signalling. You have to still be the hero in your mind right?
History shows us that Alexander Hamilton pushed the banking system and convinced Washington to start a bank. Hamilton was an aristocratic wannabe who kept some relative around because he had blue blood. The first banking schools would be elitist in your view, but it was run by mostly East Coast boys (the people you've been told not to trust).
But somehow Trump did you a great favor by giving you $600, then ratcheting your taxes back up while making the elitist tax cut permanent.
