Cali ranks 46 in dependent on Fed money.WTF. WT F? How many times do I need to remind you. This small fringe of Trump supporters don't care about fact, they are cowardly white people.
2017’s Most & Least Federally Dependent States
Mar 21, 2017 | John S Kiernan, Senior Writer & Editor
The extent to which the average American’s tax burden varies based on his or her state of residence represents a significant point of differentiation among state economies. But it’s only one piece of the puzzle.
What if, for example, a particular state can afford not to tax its residents at high rates because it receives disproportionately more funding from the federal government than states with apparently oppressive tax codes? That would change the narrative significantly, revealing federal dependence where bold, efficient stewardship was once thought to preside.
The idea of the American freeloader burst into the public consciousness when #47percent started trending on Twitter in 2012. And while the notion is senselessly insulting to millions of hardworking Americans, it is true that some states receive a far higher return on their federal income-tax contributions than others.
Just how pronounced is this disparity? And to what extent does it alter our perception of state and local tax rates around the country? WalletHub sought to answer those questions by comparing the 50 states in terms of three key metrics. Read on for our findings, expert commentary and a detailed methodology.

Again you show how woefully uninformed you are. That 26% of California's total is a lot more money than 40% of Mississippi's. Cutting and pasting doesn't dig down to actual numbers. California's so well off they're $1.6 Trillion in debt. Originally Posted by Lantern2814I provided you a graph to money states paid into the Feds and what they received back.

It's a fact that there are more park rangers and BLM employees in Wyoming per capita than there are in New Hampshire, but that doesn't mean they don't assist fucking New Yorkers or Californians when they visit Yellow Stone and Grand Teton National Parks. MRGO and much of the United States' reserve petroleum assets are located in Louisiana, but the costs for managing those assets, along with the costs of keeping the Mississippi River open for the Midwest's agriculture trade and operating costs for Ft Polk and the B-52s at Barksdale Air Force Base, are not solely for the benefit of Louisianans. SEAL Team Six and the 160th SOAR operate out of Fort Campbell, KY, and those costs are likewise for the benefit of all Americans, not just Kentuckians, and so it goes, despite your disingenuous lies and distortions otherwise, mistake.
It may be a misreading of Sessions, and perhaps he is just quiet about the DOJ processes. It would be better if these criminal matters were UTR until actually filed, but a wait and see approach might be appropriate. The past administration shot their mouth off prematurely, so perhaps this is a pendulum swing in the opposite direction.

If no one's getting censured, indicted, arrested etc, all WE see is people getting away with breaking laws and LAUGHING about it.. Originally Posted by garhkal

Remember the old saying that you have freedom of speech, but you can't yell FIRE at the local AMC 30 movie theaters? Freedom of speech doesn't allow a lance corporal to tell his gunny to go fuck himself.
Now a lot of us did a lot of telling about the location of cops back in the CB days with 'smokey reports', but that really wasn't anything major. Having a mayor give a 'smokey report' about when ICE is fixing to bust illegal aliens takes things to a far different level.
Frankly the mayor of Oakland should be seen in an orange suit getting out of the back of some blacked out Suburban with a chain around her waist and cuffs on doing the perp walk. Originally Posted by DEAR_JOHN
So WTF believes that Flynn is protected by the 1st Amendment?Flynn is protected by the First Amendment he is just not protected from lying to the FBI. and why don't you tell us what lol this mayor broke
Looks like Flynn's plea is in jeopardy after all....according to WTF. Originally Posted by LexusLover
