The Dirty South States (I.e. Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and so forth) are the largest benefactors of federal cash, while Northern Liberals are contributing more than they're receiving.
Although, I will state that Alaska is the number one receiver of Federal Gravy. (Alaska, as you know, is home to a Former Female Republican Presidential Candidate.)
I wonder if these Southern Republicans go to Church and Thank God for giving them Uncle Sam. (I wouldn't know because I haven't been to Church in a long, long time).
Mississippi receives $2 for every $1 paid into Washington.
Louisiana is the same.
Imagine! If the North had left the South leave the Union instead of fighting an expensive Civil War to keep the South on the Dole, the North could have free health care and even more generous Social-Security.
Republicans bite the hand that feeds them.
The Source of this Information (I.e. Tax Foundation) is a Republican Think Tank!
Now here's a game: You can match the Republican State to the Federal Money they receive!
Why do southerners vote republican candidates who militate for capital flight? It seems to me that it would be in their interest to vote people who advocate anti-outsourcing policies. Though if the South would have been left to leave the union, they couldn't survive today without applying radical malthusian measures to the slave population as well to themselves.
