This politics shit is heavy, man.
I hear the gapier the gash, the easier the childbirth. That must be some kind of Darwinian adjustment.

The comforting attachment to small government of red state residents doesn't keep them from taking in more federal dollars than they pay out, while the opposite is true of the blue states (as a general rule). In other words, the people who whine about big government and their crushing tax burdens are the same ones cashing the welfare and subsidy checks. Why is that?
The tax burdens are much lower in the smaller states. They may get more from the Federal Government but that is because they are overrepresented in the Senate. In addition, big government projects and the military bases are overrepresented in the small states.

Where they have total control over the size of Government it is smaller.

In the small states tax burdens are lighter and less people are employed by the government.

That's a fair request, but do you really want to know? It has to do with insulting phrases hurled during feuds between me and another poster and slave and another poster. Some of those phrases have developed a resonance on the boards and taken on a more universal significance, or insignificance (depending on your perspective). It's basically FB nonsense that got carried over here.

Since nobody really pays attention to subject lines, we weren't sensitive enough to recognize that we may have been using your name in vain, or to note the glaring absence of a hyphen.
I didn't really care that you were using my name. No one seems to pay attention to subject lines anyway. I was just using it as an excuse to find out the gossip.

With all due respect, Spanky, I don't understand how this supports your argument. You're saying where the federal dollars come from, but they are still federal dollars.

Also, if big government projects and military bases are overrepresented in the small (I presume this = red) states, how is it then that fewer people are employed by the government in those states? Are you talking fewer in absolute numbers, or in percentages?

My instinct is that people in the large/blue states are more productive than people in the small/red states. You may sneer at what they produce, but they still produce stuff that people pay money for.

Is that what Spanky meant by "language barrier"?

I heard she is uncircumcised.
