Not to mention CA and those dirty liberal blue states subsidize those red states who hate us so much.
Red states are (with almost no exceptions) pariahs that take in more federal funds than they give back. Even though they hate that durn Big Federal Guv’mint, they’ll suckle at the teat all day if it means they can get their hair done and own libs on Twitter.
And who provides those funds? The libs.
But yeah, we totally suck.
