Can the bible thumping, trailer dwelling states ween themselves off welfare?
Red states are most dependent on federal money - Boing Boing
Sorry, but that's not true, blacks and hispanics DO use more food stamps and welfare per capita than whites.
And, Dimocrats are about twice as likely.

So, the Liberal States are supporting the welfare recepients in the Red States, how fitting...
sounds to me like conservatives shouldn't be griping, since Libs are taking care of them..
The red state ripoff
Over at the Fourth Branch, they've got a nice map showing the states that receive more than a dollar back for every dollar they pay in taxes (which they've coded red), and the states that receive less than a dollar back for every dollar they pay in taxes (which they've coded blue). Just to repeat: Red states are getting a good deal, and blue states a bad one. Here's the map:

First of all the same percentage of libs are partaking in welfare as Conservatives, add to that twice the Dims are partaking than Republicans. So if anything, it's us taking care of you.
They'll fire all the hohatmo tenured school counselors and teachers, and replace them with people who actually can teach kids about something other than how best to accomodate faggots...we'll send all those losers to the blue states, too.

Except blue states produce twice as much stuff, make as much money, and pay twice the taxes.

Of course blue states pay twice the taxes, glad you admitted it.

I don't understand why Democrats don't make this their mission. They need to tea bag the GOP. INSIST on cutting all the social programs, welfare, food stamps and welfare that is handed out in red states. What do they have to lose? They don't win those states anyways.
Remember when a tornado demolished a red state and the governor asked for federal help? This was right after a disaster happened in a blue state and the tea party tried to demand cuts elsewhere before they would help?
Obama/Democrats should have never given one dime to those red states unless they strengthened social security or raised taxes on the rich. We have to offset the spending with some badly needed revenue.
Conservatives do....I'm surprised they haven't starved them already. But, it's not brown people that take in the most welfare....that's a Faux News tidbit that you gladly swallow and pass on as fact....but you're devoid of the true facts.
It's time for you to get educated on the truth.
If you pay any attention to right wing media, then you know that folks on the right are obsessed with unraveling the safety net, mostly because they believe that the safety net benefits mostly black and brown people:
All of the candidates delighted in calling President Obama the food stamp president during the 2012 campaign.
Also during the campaign, Rick Santorum said “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them other people’s money.”
Newt Gingrich famously added, “I will tell black people to demand paychecks instead of food stamps.”
As we edge closer to Obama making some ‘grand bargain’ to cut Social Security and Medicare, it is important to remember that the vast majority of people who receive government benefits are white. In fact, whites receive a disproportionate amount of benefits.

Democrats are about twice as likely as Republicans to have received food stamps at some point in their lives—a participation gap that echoes the deep partisan divide in the U.S. House of Representatives, which on Thursday*produced a farm bill*that did not include funding for the food stamp program.
Overall, a*Pew Research Center surveyconducted late last year found that about one-in-five Americans (18%) has participated in the food stamp program, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. About a quarter (26%) lives in a household with a current or former food stamp recipient.
Of these, about one-in-five (22%) of Democrats say they had received food stamps compared with 10% of Republicans. About 17% of political independents say they have received food stamps.
The share of food stamp beneficiaries swells even further when respondents are asked if someone else living in their household had ever received food stamps. According to the survey, about three in ten Democrats (31%) and about half as many Republicans (17%) say they or someone in their household has benefitted from the food stamp program.
But when the political lens shifts from partisanship to ideology, the participation gap vanishes. Self-described political conservatives were no more likely than liberals or moderates to have received food stamps (17% for each group), according to the survey.
Beyond politics, equally large or larger gaps emerge in the participation rates of many core social and demographic groups. For example, women were about twice as likely as men (23% vs. 12%) to have received food stamps at some point in their lives. Blacks are about twice as likely as whites to have used this benefit during their lives (31% vs. 15%). Among Hispanics, about 22% say they have collected food stamps.
Minority women in particular are far more likely than their male counterparts to have used food stamps. About four-in-ten black women (39%) have gotten help compared with 21% of black men. The gender-race participation gap is also wide among Hispanics: 31% of Hispanic women but 14% of Hispanic men received assistance.
Among whites, the gender-race gap is smaller. Still, white women are about twice as likely as white men to receive food stamp assistance (19% vs. 11%).
The survey also found that adults 65 and older are significantly less likely than other age groups to say they have received food stamps. For example, about 18% of adults aged 18 to 29 have benefitted from this entitlement program compared with 8% of those 65 and older. Those who have a high school diploma or less formal education are roughly three times more likely than college graduates to have been helped.
The*farm bill passed by the House*on Thursday, after a day of intense and sometimes hostile debate, was stripped of about $740 billion in funding for food stamps, setting up a confrontation with the Senate which has approved a very different version of the legislation.
The legislation represented the first time since 1973 that a House version failed to provide support for food stamps. The vote Thursday was 216-208, with all 196 Democrats present voting to oppose the measure. Twelve Republicans also voted against the bill.
While politically, congressional Republicans have focused on reducing spending on federal entitlement programs, the*Pew Research survey*found the U.S. to be “a “bipartisan nation of beneficiaries.”
The survey found that significant proportions of Democrats (60%) and Republicans (52%) say they have benefited from a major entitlement program at some point in their lives. So have nearly equal shares of self-identifying conservatives (57%), liberals (53%) and moderates (53%). The programs were Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, unemployment benefits and food stamps.

Nothing to "admit"... It's easy to figure out. And it is why red states take more than they produce. Glad you admitted it.
( What an idiot!)
I have to spell this out for you, don't I.
If red states pay less taxes it is because they have less income. Why is that, you ask?. Cuz everyone has the same fed tax rate. And as red states pay less in taxes, they receive more in fundss than they pay.

Now that's the conservative mentality.....red states sucking more government money, but they're taking care of us....
