Sick and Tired of New Jersey Getting Zilch Funding and Alaska Getting More Pork

[Jordan Gwendolyn]

As we all know, New Jersey gets next to zilch federal funding, and thus, our Medicaid sucks so much that I have to go up to Newark to get my teeth fixed. We also have a high-assed tax burden and services that suck, however...

Alaska gets what it wants, when it wants from Uncle Sam. I have a saying that our national debt is caused by four things: 1. our military presence everywhere and all these wars, 2. our prison-industrial complex, 3. agricultural subsidies given to factory farms, and 4. federal monies to Alaska

And its not even as if Alaska even tries to make an effort to pull some of its own weight. It's got no sales tax, no income tax, hell, I don't even think citizens have to pay any taxes at all to their state). The only people who should not be paying taxes in that state is the Alaska Native population (of course, I am indigenous too, so I understand).

So, thus, the Alaska government are the biggest welfare queens in the United States, and we New Jerseyans and the other donor states are paying to wipe their butt. And I thought the Final Frontier was one of those Republican states, what with self-reliance and pulling oneself up by the bootstraps. Hey Alaska, pay for your own damn stop signs.
