You should probably tell that to all the conservatives in red states that liberals in the blue states take care of.

@Pherick lol yeah ok

@Harley4Life Yep, facts are a bitch huh?

Connecticut residents paid an average of $15,643 per person in federal taxes in 2015, according to a report by the Rockefeller Institute of Government. Massachusetts paid $13,582 per person, New Jersey paid $13,137 and New York paid $12,820.

California residents paid an average of $10,510.

At the other end, Mississippi residents paid an average of $5,740 per person, while West Virginia paid $6,349, Kentucky paid $6,626 and South Carolina paid $6,665.

@Pherick you notice it says AVERAGE. Try taking a look at the POPULATION of those states

Pherick · 41-45, M

@Harley4Life New York and California? TONS of people paying higher taxes than smaller populations in Kentucky and South Carolina.

You just proved my point for me.

@Harley4Life Look who is MOST dependent on the Federal government.

I believe the top 10 there are all red states.

@Harley4Life How does that argument even help you here? It just makes, say, California’s contribution even more lopsided.

On top of that that’s not even getting into the dependency issue, where even the economically strong conservative states take more money from the feds than they pay out.

@QuixoticSoul @Pherick

Please don't expect a conservative to understand things like averaging. You will only be disappointed.

Xuan12 · 36-40, M

@Harley4Life The average is the ratio of taxes paid to population. The relative size of populations in different states doesn't have a direct effect.

@daisymay That person sounds oppressed, right?

daisymay · 51-55, T

@GunSmoke9 Aww, did I hurt your widdle feewers? It's okay, just add it to your sense of victimhood.

GunSmoke9 · 56-60, M

@daisymay YOU hurt my feelings? Please. Victimhood? Not me. Are you replacing oppressed with victimhood? I am not a leftist snowflake.

daisymay · 51-55, T

@GunSmoke9 Replace? No, conservatives are well versed in claiming both statuses.

YOU hurt my feelings? Please

You just called me out because you're PMSing? Because you're a whiny little bitch? Because you can't stand people accurately calling out what the fuck is wrong with you?

Inquiring minds want to know.

GunSmoke9 · 56-60, M

@daisymay You are clueless. Conservatives don't play the victim card. The left got that down to a science. It doesn't bother me at all what people say about me. How can you know anything about me outside of my political views? Doctor.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@GunSmoke9 Lmao, conservatives play the victim card routinely. They're up there neck and neck with the tumblrinas.

daisymay · 51-55, T

@GunSmoke9 Three words: War on Christmas

A bunch more words: religious freedom is under attack in America

You guys are the biggest non-victim victims that have ever existed.

So, Happy Holidays!
