Never going to happen. The Feds depend on Red states like Texas to suck them dry of their wealth to subsidize California, Michigan, New York and the rest of the Blue states.

On average, blue states pay far more in federal taxes than they receive from the federal government, and red states receive more than they pay.

SIGH.

Once again....New York State is NOT subsidized by the federal government. We pay out more to the feds than we receive back.

New York pays for its social programs by taxing the living shit out of every New York resident or business.

New York sucks for many reasons and there are many valid reasons to hate New York State Government and even a lot of New Yorkers.

Oh yes...we crap up the country for everyone else, no doubt about it.

But we don’t take your money.

What we do do is send vile scumbags like Chuckie Shumer, Louse Slaughter, Hillary Clinton, etc. to Washington. We also have a whole bushel basket full of electoral votes that go straight to whatever Democrat puke happens to be running for President and they don’t cost the Rat party a red cent.

At least have the courtesy to hate us for the right reasons.
