Moochers

[Duff Miver]

Residents of some states pay more in Federal taxes than they receive.

Residents of some states receive more money from the Federal government than they pay in. They're called "moochers".

So, are you a resident of a moocher state? And which are the biggest moocher states of all?

Hint: Red states are moochers, blue states are not. And the biggest moochers of all? - New Mexicaholes and Sayrah Alaskascums. And who is paying the bills for these moochers? The good folks of NJ, TX and CA mostly. So much for rightwinger fiscal responsibility. LMAO!

Duff... This is interesting. Do you have more info on this? Specifically, a breakdown by State showing the amounts each pays in vs. what they receive?

Thanks J-Bro.

In contrast, of the 16 states that are "losers" -- receiving less in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes -- 69% are Blue States that voted for Al Gore in 2000. Indeed, 11 of the 14 (79%) of the states receiving the least federal spending per dollar of federal taxes paid are Blue States. Here are the Top 10 states that supply feed for the federal trough (with Blue States highlighted in bold):
