The Federal Government is like the Mafia.
They steal Money from the Taxpayers in all 50 States, then they give 75% of it back and keep 25% as a cut to provide Protection.
The Caveat, the States can only spend their 75% on entities controlled by other Mobsters, the Teacher Unions.
“The Federal Government is like the Mafia.”
Same with Canada. The dirty open secret why canada is still standing? It’s called the Equalization payments.
Just before canada became canada, Quebec bribed the rest of the provinces they will secede unless they put French as the national language. So the rest of the gutless provinces made sure they pony up to Quebec with payments. Makes the USA look like the Sisters of Mercy.
