The subsidies are funded through tax money raised from the citizens of the several states. What's your point? All states receive some subsidies, that's one of the advantages of a republican form of gov't.

The poorer Southern and Western states recieve the most money funded by taxpayers throughout the Union. Every state should carry its own weight. Massachusetts has a 5% income tax. We have own welfare programs so we should NOT have to fund the welfare programs of other states. Certain responsibilities were delegated to the States in the Constitution. Unfortunetely, the voters in my own state disagree with me and they vote for Ted Kennedys and John Kerrys.
