[QUOTE="Pommer, post: 74010374, member: 231908"] I’ve seen you restate this before...maybe a slightly different tack? As I understand it: Blue states tend to require the people of their state pay for the goods and services that the state needs to offer its citizens, (and whatever flavor of immigrants you care to mention), a full-service government that provides for the “general welfare”. Red States want generally lower taxes, because, (in part), they do not wish to overburden their constituents that are poor; these states generally get by on a lower level of governance and things like road maintenance are given to local governments to handle, based on State Guidelines, (to ensure the same level of quality, municipality to municipality). Any shortfall in State revenues will generally “be picked up” by Uncle Sam. If we [I]really[/I] want to “get into the weeds”, we could find out how much of each state’s budget is provided by the Federal Government? But I’m lazy and will opt for my interpretation of things “as they stand”! [/QUOTE]
