Red States are using the bullshit set up of the U.S. Senate to flat out steal from liberals. Without liberals, the roads, bridges, and tunnels of Republican states would crumble.
Hell, most of the South still wouldn't have indoor plumbing or electricity if FDR didn't create the TVA to do it for them.
If the people of California, New York, New Jersey, Mass, Conn, and Illinois are the ones paying most of the taxes they do not deserve to have some piece of shit from Kentucky taking it all for his shithole state.
