I'm not going to get into the rest of your post but I couldn't let this portion of the response go. Perhaps I'm not understanding here. Are you really trying to dispute what Genuine Risk is saying about the Red states living off of the Blue states? The VAST majority of tax dollars come from where? Blue states. The red states (texas being the exception as GR noted because of oil) receive more fed dollars than they put in. This is an indisputable fact.

They receive more dollars than they put in because they are more sparsely populated. That is not living off the largess of the other states.
