ChungDoQuan. Don't know where you live, but in my RED state, there is fraud and abuse of the Federal system EVERY day. One town I work in has 85% of the utility bills going to single women. These women get welfare, section 8 housing, food stamps, free lunchs for kids, etc, etc. They live with a single man, and they drive expensive cars. This is for real. I've had 3 kids work at grocery stores and well dressed people pay for groceries with food stamps, and put their groceries in the trunk of a Lincoln, Lexus, etc. They are ripping off the system. I know one guy kin to me who was laid off, he was getting unemployment. He only looked for one job a week, and a job that he wasn't qualified to do, so he could report that he was looking for a job. He got unemployment for 90+ weeks, and when it started to run out, he got a job.
This stuff needs to be turned over to the states, not the feds. They are being ripped off. Also, if you look at the red states, a lot of the so called federal money is going to military bases. Most large military bases are in the south. So your chart isn't exactly right.
Our taxes are also a lot lower. Almost all new industry locates in these states, like car manufacturing and associated industry. Because living costs are lower, pay is lower to match. Homes are more expensive up north. My stepson has a 1400 sq foot house in a small town in Illinois. His property tax is around $1500 a year. My house in Alabama is 2800 sq ft with a swimming pool. My property tax is $1400 a year, and I live in one of the most expensive counties in Alabama. So my utilities are lower, my mortgage is lower, my property taxes are lower, my income tax is lower, than in most northern states.
Transfer money going into a black hole and no reality of payoff is stupid. Dropout rates on poor are higher than years ago. Functional literacy is less than in 1892 when 8th grade was as high as most people went. 4-5 Trillion in welfare hasn't ended poverty. We need to try something else. Enough is enough.
I will sign a petition if I see it. We need to send a message loud and clear.
Close the border of illegals.
Bring industry back home.
Develop our own natural resources.
Lower all taxes.
Keep the military strong, but stay out of stupid wars.
Balance the trade with foreign countries $ for $.
Keep federal budget within tax revenue.
The democrat party under Chicago style politics has commited a lot of voter fraud, especially in swing states. More people voting than registered. 98-99% of people voting for Obama. The list goes on and on. Not counting military ballots from overseas. Dead people voting.
America is doomed under this senario. No matter what they do now, we are going over the clift. Beware of major cuts to the military, thus creating an unstable world. Beware of high inflation so the government can pay back debt with inflated dollars. Inflation has already kicked in, check you grocery bills for the last few years. Also your gasoline prices. Value of homes has dropped. Stock market doesn't know what to do. Up and down, up and down. GOVERNMENT CANNOT SOLVE EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY INVOLVING HUMAN NATURE. Yes we went to the moon, but that is machines and technology. Parasites on the government is destroying us.
