How so?



A lot? So, you're saying less people, less federal income tax. That only covers individuals. What about the businesses and corporations in those states? Can't those big farms and corn fields carry the load? Oops...:3oops:





So your point here is that these rankings may very from year to year depending on public works projects etc. Fair enough. But vary how much?




New York gets $0.79 for every $1 they contribute...

South Dakota get $1.53 for every $1 they contribute...

Hmmm. Not sure what your point is, but it seems like SD owes NY a huge thank you.

The one thing this chart tells me (which I already knew) the majority of the people on welfare are of a light complexion and live in the South. The myth of urban welfare mom was created to bring the old southern Dems over to the GOP.




Unfortunately, your thin argument does really nothing to support that.

The urban welfare mom is no myth. It was created by a brilliant federal law that would not provide welfare to families who had a man in the house because he had the responsibility to care for his family. The rest is all history. Do you know anything about the south? We have a large percentage of minorities including heavy populations of such in most large cities in the south. Guess which way they usually vote? Yep, farming is big in the south and farm subisidies are big throughout the country. Those subsidies are what keep food prices low for everyone in the country. We should not have made farmers dependent on these subsidies. Just goes to show you that just like welfare, the government has done a horrible job of managing a program. Both programs have become political payoff schemes. The $1.53 for South Dakota represents very little money compared to the amount given to New York. I am talking about total money. There is no way the government could afford giviing any where near that much to New York. You cannot make a linear comparison between the two states.
