Contrary to what Rightwing Propaganda preaches to the sheep, Blue States pay the bills for the Red States, because of the large differences in education and income.

 According to AI, well over 60% of the Federal budget comes from Blue States, while Red States are the recipients of that largesse. 

Primary Drivers

 Income Levels: Blue states (such as California, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey) tend to have higher per capita incomes, higher cost of living, and more high-earning households, leading to higher federal income tax payments.  

 Safety Net & Transfer Programs: Red states tend to have higher poverty rates and larger populations relying on federal entitlement programs (like Social Security, Disability, and Supplemental Nutrition), resulting in higher federal spending relative to tax revenue collected.

Duh, someone has to pay for Trump’s base, where the uneducated, low earners suck the benefits from the system, financed by the states where people with ‘choices’ live, when their education and income allows them to reside in California, Colorado, Washington and Oregon, instead of Mississippi, Arkansas, Kentucky and West Virginia.

BUT, the sixth grade dropout’s vote counts the same as the university professor’s, so we get a LYING, morally bankrupt, arrogant, corrupt, incompetent, GREEDY conman/grifter like Trump, who has made us the world’s pariah, cuz FOX ‘News’ is actually believed by the gullible, ignorant sheep, and our nation is gonna get what it probably deserves….God help us.
