There are many like us who will oppose taking more of our money.
Since Alabama is a small, red state and has been in the news lately, lets compare the average federal taxes paid per person vs federal dollars received back:
Alabama
Federal Taxes Paid vs. Federal Spending Received (2005)
$5,434 paid to DC per person.
$1.66 received back from DC per $1 tax sent.
California
Federal Taxes Paid vs. Federal Spending Received
$8,028 paid to DC per person.
$0.78 received back from DC per $1 tax sent.
Remove the millions of foreign nationals (legal & illegal), and the numbers in CA are skewed even more.

This framework for a tax plan, if it were to go through as is, would likely put Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania back into the (D) column. Yeah, national security and SCOTUS judges are massive issues with (R). Reaching into our wallets and taking more of their money is personal. The national (R) party best tread lightly on this issue and rethink screwing those of us conservatives in blue or purple states.
