Welfare Hypocrisy: Red States Are The Real Freeloaders
For years the Republican Party has been telling us that the
welfare system in America is helping to make people lazy and
making them too dependent on the federal government. If this is
true, then a new report has some horrible news to deliver to
Republicans.
As it turns out, Red states are far more likely to depend on
federal welfare than blue states, and they are also more likely
to have a higher percentage of poor people in their states. A
new report from the Tax Foundation shows that two of the most
conservative states in America Louisiana and Mississippi
rank in the top 3 recipients of federal handouts. The report
says that, of the revenue brought in by these states each year,
with about 42% of Louisianas total state revenue coming from
the federal government and almost 43% of Mississippis yearly
revenue coming from the feds. The remainder of that revenue is
what the states bring in via taxes, commerce, and other sources
of revenue and thats not a reflection of the workers in the
state, but a reflection of the failed conservative principles
that govern these states.
Both Louisiana and Mississippi are run by backwards-thinking
Republican governors who feel like its their job to cut
benefits for the needy while at the same time handing out
welfare to wealthy corporations. They have both also allowed
the energy industry to operate with few limitations in their
states, further reducing the health of the overall state.
Overall, the study shows that conservative states are far more
likely to depend on the federal government to shore up their
budget shortfalls, which is one of the greatest ironies in
American politics. Republicans love to tell us that welfare
recipients are lazy and shiftless and that an individuals
success or failure is the sole responsibility of the
individual, but THEY are actually the ones who depend the most
on government handouts.
The bottom line is that conservative policies are failures. The
last good idea from a Republican politician ironically came
from Richard Nixon when he took the initiative to create the
EPA. And then after that, both for Nixon and the GOP,
everything fell apart
