it's fortunate for Louisiana that states like New York and California don't take the same attitude about this kind of thing that posters here do.

90% of those states are red states.

The reason is they see how much free shite the government if giving away to people who do nothing.

Best part is they bash the dems for giving hand outs but yet get those hand outs.

Its perplexing. Hate Obama yet need his hand outs.

I blame reconstruction. As for Maine and Montana, I guess God hates states that start with M.

No, its not perplexing. The majority of the people in those states are not getting handouts. They vote red, because everyday they see tons people(no pun intended) getting free shite for nothing.

Id say those states are very mixed with people who get them and don't. You have lots of poor people who get those hand outs but still vote republican.

How do they calculate the taxes, per person, or aggregate?

some are due to trashy populations (LA, MS, AL, WV, TN, Maine)

some (SD, Montana) are almost assuredly due to the federal government owning so much fricking land in those states

It's because those states have small economies without major industry.

Therefore, there will be more poor people, and less taxes paid.

Has nothing to do with the political views of the residents or how they vote.

America's economy would be brought to its knees over night without Louisiana, the other states not so much. The country gets plenty of resources through Louisiana

Where would New York and Connecticut be if the government didn't give the banks sweetheart loan deals and cover all of Wall Street's bad bets?

I also noticed Iowa gets a free pass on ethanol [strike]subsidies[strike] mandates. Billions in forced private-sector transfers but the government isn't the middleman so it apparently doesn't count.
