We need to see more articles about the ‘donor state’ hoax.
This is a good start.
A “progressive” tax code’s a bitch, ain’t it libtards, hahaha!
More liberal reasons for a massive federal bailout
This misses a huge area of federal spending. Although I haven’t been able to find the specific amount, as best I can tell, the largest area of federal outlays is redeeming government bonds. These payments go to where people buy government bonds. In the most usual comparison I’ve seen, taxes versus outlays, the money people pay for government bonds are not counted, because it’s not a tax. The money to redeem the bonds is an outlay, so that counts.
This creates the illusion that people who buy government bonds are a pure drain on the system. Actually, by lending the government money, they are helping to hold the roof up.
Since this is, as far as I can tell, the largest part of government expenditures, getting this backwards distorts any study of who is supporting the government, and who is draining it. I would not trust any comparison unless I see some indication that they got government bonds right.
BUMP
Well, the headline is true, they do donate a lot to illegal aliens and planned parenthood.
One argument against New York’s claim is overlooked. Just as New York did not want to be morally sullied by charitable help from Samaritan’s Purse because of its objectionable religious views, surely New York does not want to sullied by accepting cash from states where such views are common and accepted.
New York is a “donor” state insofar as its citizens take their retirement income and move elsewhere.....
This makes it more of a non recipient rather than donor state.
State and local taxes which are outrageous in NY, are a reason why they’re a donor state. People need higher salaries to cover their taxes, and the cost of living that taxes factor into. Higher salaries = higher federal taxes.
