Stupak’s Amendment- What a Great Opportunity!

Lemonade anybody?

OK- Bart Stupak is basically telling us taxes are an ala carte affair- we can pick and choose what we want our tax dollars to go to. Don’t like abortion? No problem- let’s just not fund it!

Cool. I like that principle.

I bet most Americans would agree that we should cut federal spending in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Kentucky. I don’t want to continue sending buckets of cash to those states.

No? Well why not? Those are the leech states. In other words those are the states that get a lot more in federal spending then they kick in.

Here’s the list of Federal Spending Received Per Dollar of Taxes Paid by State. I’ve left off West Virginia and Virginia because I like Robert Byrd, Jay Rockefeller and Jim Webb. I’ve also left off New Mexico, Alaska and North and South Dakota because of the large concentrations of Native Americans in those states (I’m cool with flooding reservations with federal cash – and since this is all about personal preference in tax policy then, hey, that’s what I want).

Boy, I really don’t like Mississipp, Louisiana, Alabama and Kentucky. Their retrograde anti-union, anti-investing-in-their-people policies have left them crippled and sucking up our New Yorker dollars.

Screw them.
