The part about paying less in tax is largely because corporations and individuals who own large businesses reside and file taxes in certain blue states. If business activities in these red states were taxed as a foreign entity on its profits in the state there would be far less of a discrepancy.
But most red states could not possibly afford to pay the bills for their seniors, their highways, their schools, for their folks showing up at emergency rooms with no cash, and how about defense... how could they possibly have a credible military..will the Islamists care if its America or America Jr. they are attacking...
