The Federal Government is sucking too much tax money out of Illinois and
sending it to Mississippi.


Good


It's such a shame that The Magnificent Trump plans to make cuts to the
Food Stamp program. I would have preferred that SNAP cards were
printed with "Cheerfully Provided by the Good People of New York,
California and Illinois".


That's rich.

The states whose liberal elites are the founders of the welfare state
complaining that the welfare state is making them broke.

If you quit telling Mississippi who has to be subsidized and to what
extent, and if you quit thinking that the top brackets need to pay
a vastly disproportionate share of the welfare state, then maybe
some of your high rollers' funds could have been tapped to keep
you yourselves from going down the tubes. There is a valid argument,
and always has been, for using local funds to solve local problems.

So the high income states are bearing Kipling's "The White Man's Burden".

Oh the irony.
