perhaps the brain drain from cali the last few years has brought receipts down

which is why they get so much money back

this is how it was debunked

https://apnews.com/article/north-america-business-local-taxes-ap-top-news-politics-2f83c72de1bd440d92cdbc0d3b6bc08c California fared a bit better than other blue states. It received 96 cents for every dollar the state sent to Washington.

oh thats right.. they have been told enough times what they should believe and no facts will change their minds

acutally i was wrong before.. according to AP cali's ratio is .96 so if they pay 300 they get back 288

and why is it no one responded to those facts

i already did bob.

so what about blue states who want to be able to right off state taxes on their fed tax papers?

it always has been bob but to argue that blue states fund red states based on this ratio is incorrect.

the whole federal spending received vs. extracted is disingenuous the states with the highest ratio dont have any major corps. their income is lower and so they pay lower amounts of tax. states like cali and texas at .80 have large corp. there... not apples to apples

i mean they found the boston marathon bombers in 3 days.. using pieced together footage... should be pretty easy.

yes, obama NEVER fired a general they never screw up

i voted for obama the first time. the reason was this: one morning i was getting ready for work and the news showed one of his speeches. and he said, the right wants this, and the left wants the other, diametrically opposed, BUT, can't we all agree that THIS is a problem and we need to find a solution... i dont remember the specifics but i thought yeah. he didn't really govern that way, was he allowed or not .. he had control of govt for 2 years... i like to think that now he would say something like this the right wants to deny trans rights(which i dont believe), the left wants to make sure they aren't discriminated against, but can't we all agree that men in womens bathrooms is not a solution

you know there was a time accepted science was the flat earth... but yes, i realize that leftists claim to love everyone, but they really just want to hear from old white men see i can play that game of insults too

the thing i notice is that, no one arguing with me has done much but insult me and others i at least post a few things to make you think. you just dismiss them out of hand... b/c what we are doing is working so well right? maybe, just maybe, there is another possibility other than lock step indoctrination?

really? i think thats a good thing isn't it...

is that why so many are moving to florida.. and texas.. to pick up that money? b/c there isn't enough where they came from?

still haven't seen an example of the right changing the code

its a joke...
