it’s too idiotic of a statement to respond to.

And you’re not an idiot which makes it a shame.

Or maybe you just can’t understand what FEDERAL means as opposed to state

Housing is priced accordingly. That's good for middle class folks. It is also good for NYers who decide to cash out and retire in Florida.

That was a political decision made decades ago, largely by northern Democrats to buy southern Democrat votes (back when there were white southern Democrats in large numbers). That is covered thoroughly in the book "What's Wrong with Kansas"?

I am in Arizona these days, but the conservative southern and mountain red states would be happy to keep the Fed $$$ out if we get to keep God, guns, babies, and stop celebrating perversion. We would also happily lose the strings tre tied to fed $$$.

Those states that you belittle, have good patriotic citizens who. for the most part, ask very little from the federal government, cause very little disruption in their “hillbilly” enclaves and are peopled with most who are courteous and caring for one another.

I don’t happen to live in one of those Mayberry states, but I sure admire the residents...for the most part.

Having lived at one time reasonably close to NY and visited frequently, the ONLY thing I found worthwhile in the city was Little Italy.

That’s not saying much. And of course, this is just my redneck opinion.

George Carlin was a master wordsmith.

Great comics and comedians (especially of old) knew the subject(s) they were poking their spears into well enough to be able to extract humor from an otherwise humorless situation or person.

But from all that knowledge landed a modicum of belief system that stays with the comic.

Carlin was brilliant because he really was atheist and non conservative, which played to a much larger and younger American audience than not.

Now, I cannot remember a hint of you, dp0622, of being so hateful towards perhaps 2/3 of American culture, so I'm going to assume the above diatribe is an attempt at humor.

However, by so doing, you identify yourself as part of the "landed" population and I will personally critique your subsequent replies here in FR.

We're all getting older and must protect ourselves from creeping Bidenism ....
