re: Red States are the biggest Takers

I love these threads. First off, there are blue states and red states, but there are plenty of red folks in blue land, and blue folks in red land. That is what matters, because PEOPLE ultimately receive the money, not states. The south was the PRIMARY focus on the war on poverty, and so it follows that a lot of federal dollars go there. Likewise, I would wager that the huge businesses in California, NY, etc are populated by republicans.
