“So the rest of the country has been subsidizing these big RAT, hight-tax states???”
After all the debate on that subject over the last couple of months, you continue to hold onto that fallacy?
Are you not aware these big rat states support the nation, and subsidize YOUR state?
“....Are you not aware these big rat states support the nation, and subsidize YOUR state?....”
LMAO. Ummmmm......no, but if you say so, it must be.
And Republicans have finally signed on to the idea that it’s the Government’s money, and letting you keep it is a subsidy. Good going GOP!
regardless of how much money CA pays to the feds, the rest of the country is still subsidizing them. Simple Math. Lets say we have 2 people, A and B. Both A & B make $100K and everything else is equal between them . A lives in a state with a 15% income tax, and B lives in a state with a 3% income tax. Both can write their state taxes off, so A has a tax base of $85K, and B has a tax base of $97K. If the tax rate is 20%, then A is paying $17K in taxes, and B is paying $19.4K in taxes. B is subsidizing A because A is getting to write off more than B just because A lives in a high income tax state. See ... it does not matter how much CA sends the feds in total, CA is getting a subsidy because their taxpayers have been allowed to write off more than taxpayers in other states.

So now California and other big rat states can subsidize the peasant states even more? Enjoy the suck.
Sadly these same people are in denial that the creeping crud of illegals and liberals into the ballot boxes and mindset is reaching into many states. Texas is the new #1 destination for illegals, already at two thirds the number in California and has at least a foothold in almost every other state. California is mocked for Berkeley, but almost every University town in Texas is a Berkeley and they have some home grown winners in the Castros.
