How is it conservative to take more taxes than you pay in? In 2008 Oklahoma received $1.24 for every $1.00 paid

Why do you keep harping on that? The majority of people in OK are NOT in favor of the Federal money that goes to welfare. They hate it, it just proves a point.

“harping”

???

This is the first time I’ve brought it up.

If the majority of people in OK are not in favor of being reliant on the Federal government they have the voting power to put in politicians that will refuse the extra federal money . . . but they don’t.

Anecdote time: Years ago when I lived in NH we had a pretty bad week of snow. People kept urging the town council to request government funds to help clean it up. Our town council basically said, “It’s NH, it snows. We can handle it ourselves.” So it is possible for politicians to turn down federal aid.
