Maybe the red states need more tax dollars to support all the working poor in their state because their citizens did not want or get a good education? ex, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina… And California is broke because of all the illegal immigrants that get free education and hospitalization there. I am from California but moved away about 20 years ago, and last night I looked up the demographics of California and was shocked to learn that the State has more hispanics living there now than any other race. It was not like this in the 1980’s. The illegal aliens coming up from Mexico have flooded the State. I know that the Democrats and Republicans that have refused to round up the illegal aliens and send them packing are responsible for this economic tragedy.

I’ve often wondered whether or not President Lincoln really got it wrong. What if the South and less industrialized rural areas of the country should just form another nation? I think this great experiment of a Republic may not really work. There just are too many different ideas to become integrated into the larger system.

There are no shortages of inequities such as the red-blu referenced here. States bordering Mexico dole out so much in social services from those not even on the tax roles that it’s hard to balance state budgets. Unfunded mandates still exist. States can’t very well bar corporations that offshore jobs from doing business in the state.

When we are all in poverty the impoverished conservatives can gloat about having shown the liiberals.

I cannot remember a time since I became politically aware in which the interests of so few supplanted…even decimated the interests of so many.

Do we have the means to purge those Democrats and Republicans who are getting in the way for the coming mid-terms? Or does it have to get even worse?

“Taxes are the price we pay for civilization.” Oliver Wendell Holmes

In my opinion, that says it all.

[A]pply the traditional laws concerning treason to the political party, its supporters and adherents.

Sounds like a good way to get bumped to the top of Amnesty International’s shit list, if we aren’t there already.

If the Right Rev’rend Johnny Reb Lofton’s “random” gravatar ain’t proof of the Almighty….

(Love how he quotes a pro-slavery guy, too.)

This crisis has many causes, but addressing it has been rendered nearly impossible by Republicans in the state legislature who block any form of tax increase.

Just what is needed to make clear the need to permanently dye these morons with treason – economic treason – political treason – legal treason – even military treason? And apply the traditional laws concerning treason to the political party, its supporters and adherents.

Yes brother Lofton, Our sins have become manifest. Pray that the Lord doesn’t tarry.
