Do you trust the federal government?

I had a canker sore on the roof of my mouth one time the size of quarter. It hurt to breathe for an entire week. I enjoyed that week more than I enjoy watching the sh*t show that is our Govt at work.

You and @NorthDallas40 patronizing the same establishment?

Those are the top 5 most populous states, it stands to reason that they also receive the most in aid.

With the exception of Illinois being number 5 those states pay the most in federal taxes

I know, right??? It sure does suck when a business does something untrustworthy and I am forced to continue to do business with them at the threat of jail or a gun.

5 star post.

So the most populous states pay the most taxes and receive the most aid?

Seems about right.

What's the argument?

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Is this not the top 5 that recieve aid??

• California ($116.0 billion)
• New York ($79.2 billion)
• Texas ($68.2 billion)
• Florida ($41.7 billion)
• Pennsylvania ($41.0 billion)

Yes. You're economically immature. Their revenues dictate it. We're talking about RELIANCE.

Where can you find the data listing the states "reliance" on federal money?

Where can you find the data listing the states "reliance" on federal money?

Just Google "federal aid to states". You'll see the references

What does that have to do with trust?

Yeah, I have see that but the question was about reliance. How reliant a state is may not necessarily correlate to what they receive from our federal tax dollars.

5 star post.

Eventhough it had absolutley nothing to do with the topic............TRUST????????????????

You guys are special.

 

[hog88]

What does that have to do with trust?

How can you place more trust into an entity that can force you at the end of a gun to do as they wish than an entity that can't?

Why isn't there a 'Hell No' choice?

Quite simple.

Did you trust your parents as a kid?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If we eliminated it now, there are a plethora of states that would bankrupt. Most of the are a deep red

Wrong

 

[hog88]

Quite simple.

Did you trust your parents as a kid?

Of course but my parents couldn't hold a gun on me. Pretty stupid analogy luther.

Not at all.
They could force you to do things you did not want to do through threat of punishment.

Punishment, such as life imprisonment or federal agents firing their weapons at you?

You must have been quite the disciplinarian Luth.

Correct. That's irrelevant. Reliance here, is in the context of which states couldn't survive without it

 

[hog88]

So you equate parents to the government? I didn't elect my parents and once I turned 18 they could no longer punish me.

Again, dumb analogy.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Pull your foot out of the concrete before it is too late.

Trying to equate trusting your parents to trusting the government is dumb even for you. I mean do you believe everything the government says? Even though they rape and steal from you?

 

[hog88]

Correct. That's irrelevant. Reliance here, is in the context of which states couldn't survive without it

Ok, where do we find that data?
