The GOP scam is getting worse — for Republican voters. A new study shows how.

Providing aid to the taxpayers who pay taxes could be considered as a right to have access to their money. The aid is not aid to people it is aid to promote local economic growth which most every person should understand. Economic Growth promotes capitalism how is it conservatives cannot get a grip?

Over the past 41 years the upper level incomes have been relieved of an astonishing level of taxes yet the GOP keeps on handing out more = reckless and poor management of money.
Would not want a conservative GOP person managing my business.

Interesting. So what if all the Democrat run cities sunk? Do you still think your quality of life would not be affected?
Correct.

Look, I don't need Democrat-run cities to live the kind of life I want.
 
Because they are all Americans. If you don't want to help American citizens, you can live elsewhere.
We aren't talking about helping American citizens. We are talking about bailing out incompetent city leaders with federal taxpayer dollars...that we don't even have.
 
Not at all.

So what would the world be like without any science, innovation, global trade, new ideas, etc...? The US would be some isolated backwater of the world.
 
It's a way to hold onto their base. Keep them poor and disadvantaged and then "champion" them.

It's just like Roe v Wade. Republican lawmakers will never let that case be overturned. It RvW goes away, so do many of their base.

Completely false.

LOL!!

You think "science, innovation, global trade, new ideas, etc..." only happen in SF?

Please try not to be stupid.
 
Why is it the economic interest of Republicans to use taxpayer money to bail out Democratic-controlled cities?

This post pretty much sums it up. It's not that these white wingers don't notice that they're poor and uneducated and falling behind, all that's acceptable so long as they can ensure blacks in urban areas do worse. White wingers simply value hating on blacks more than helping their own families, that's the sad/funny truth.

Here comes Master Debator and his race card...wanting to be dismissed.

Okay. You are dismissed.

Blue states and cities have more scientists, engineers and better schools

Yeah pretty much- As far as I know, they happen mostly in big Democrat-run cities like San Francisco. Even the big cities in the middle of Trump country, like Houston or Austin, are pretty blue and heavily liberal. In order to be accepting and open to new ideas and new ways of doing things, you have to have a pretty liberal mindset.

What you think they happen in Topeka or something?

Why? because it is the United States of American. Not Republican America or Democrat America.

What happens when you take a broader look at which States are most dependent of Federal assistance?

It is interesting how numbers / statistics can be used to support different views.


older article.
"It is true that taxpayers in high-tax states benefit the most from the deduction. However, these states send far more tax dollars to Washington than residents in low-tax states.
In fact, most high-tax states send more money to Washington than they get back in federal spending. Most low-tax states make a profit from the federal government’s system of taxing and spending.

It's kind of funny in a sad way. Republican governors all over the country want state/local federal aide. But because a blue state or city might get some money it's time to cut off your nose to spite your face.
If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.

Cities should be responsible for their own financial **** ups. They shouldn't expect Mama Nancy to bail them out every time.
 
The blue states pay the majority of federal taxes.
Oh...do you think Nancy cares about "blue states"? LOL!!

But we know she cares about San Francisco.

The mayor of Topeka is a Democrat. ;)
 
The simple answer might be that some of them can see that even if it advantages them financially in the short run that it may be disastrous in the long run.

I am not saying this is so for a large portion, but it is for me.
 
too be honest, I think he would prefer america being a third world country.

That is their goal. Why do you think they hate masks and social distancing so much? It's not in spite of the fact that they would save lives. It's BECAUSE they would save lives.

Do you consider Covid 19 as a financial **** up?

Noted: You did not want to address States.

COVID is a virus.

The **** up is how SF ran its finances.

Unless the red/rural dynamic changes so that these states have a viable path forward to greater economic success, they will probably remain under the thumb of conservative politicians who have no interest in altering the current dynamic.

To prolong their political longevity, GOP politicians don't want their poor rural red states becoming more blue and affluent.
Republicans love the uneducated. Feed them Bibles and blather on about guns. Oh, and point out "murdered" babies. Keep doing all that, and you can milk votes from the ignorant for decades to come.
