Man. Bizzaro world. You want to pick my pocket for pork in Alaska, when you already get $1.89 for every dollar you pay in federal taxes and I'M a socialist? Tell you what. Alaska can have every dollar it pays in federal taxes back and we can call it even okay?

You may want to check your assumptions. How much of the $1.89 is going to back to the residents, and how much is going to administer the huge amount of Federally controlled National Parks, Forests, Wilderness Areas, Military reserves, etc. Combine the costs of running these with the small population, and you get this sort of skewed statistic.

What part of "people who pay taxes, should benefit from those taxes," (in this case a bridge being built) do you not understand?
