...which once again demonstrates the sheer stupidity of Redstatebluestate. What actually happens (to put it extremely crudely) is that money from areas in "blue" states which are mostly Republican is redistributed to areas in "red" states that are mostly Democratic. An example would be money mostly raised from Northwest New Jersey taxpayers going to East Kentucky. It's not as though money from Bronx taxpayers goes to Cobb county, GA or anything...
Excellent point. The argument by Scoonie is scandalously foolish, and a good example of liberal elitism. Now suddenly, the Democrats are against redistribution of income because the states receiving the money aren't right politically? Isn't that the argument? Would Democrats have agreed with that if Republicans made this argument when poorer states voted strongly Democratic?
