They hate us, but love our tax money that supports their system.
Those tax sucking cities would also get mighty hungry, awfully quick if it weren’t for the food grown and raised in those redneck infested places.
It's scarier than that. NY actually pays a boatload of taxes. Probably more than most of us realize.
But a lot of their taxes actually come out of the wealth they get out of getting the rest of the country to send a percentage of its paychecks to NY. Without the donors seeming to notice that that's what we are doing. Every week.
Imagine if 1% of the nation's payroll happened to be sent to your town. Think of the nice crap your town would be able to do for itself if it got a cut of the entire nation's payroll.
All those 401K contributions that you think you're sending to your fund? (which you know you probably won't see again) That's capital going to NY.
And people in flyover country are starting to wake up about it.
So this RL Stine jerk needs to STFU if he knows what's good for him, unless he is actually trying to get more people to notice.
