Liberal Politicians Shoot Their Constituents in the Foot!

The liberal Contra Costa Times published this article on June 22. They called it “who pays/who receives”. The bottom line of the article was this. The wealthier liberal counties along the coast send more money to Sacramento than do the poorer conservative counties of the central valley (well da!). The liberal tax and spend politicians in Sack of tomatoes then redistribute the tax dollars and send a disproportionally large amount back to the poorer conservative counties.
For example, Marin County sends $4,793 per capita to Sacramento each year and gets back only $606 (13%); while Solano County sends $1444 per capita and receives back $1,334 (92%). As a result of these wack job liberal policies the state spends $703 on every Medi-Cal resident in Lake County but only$257 on every Medi-Cal resident in San Mateo County. Although this article does not deal with the national scene, I expect the liberals in Washington DC are sending the hard earned tax dollars of their constituents in the blue states to the welfare queens who live in the more conservative and poorer red states.
At first glance an article like this should have us conservatives jumping with joy. Liberals screwing liberals, what a deal! Unfortunately, the author of this piece missed the point, missed it by a mile. The fact is that the majority of the liberal politician’s constituents do not work and certainly do not pay taxes, except when they use their welfare checks to buy cigarettes, liquor and junk food. In this respect, it makes little difference where you live in the state of California, or what state you live in, the workers are the only ones paying taxes and a disproportionally high percentage of the workers are conservative Republicans.
When it comes down to the nuts and bolts of the issue, no matter how you look at it, the liberal politicians are still using your tax dollars to buy votes and keep themselves in power. How they distribute the monies they steal from us seems to me to be less important than their initial act of thievery. However, there is another message in this article; if you are a freeloader in San Francisco you certainly should give some consideration to a move to the central valley where “the pickens are really good” and the vote, or votes, you have to sell are worth more.
