You responded to factual posts by making up a story about me thinking something is a fact just because they agree with me.


LOL too funny

You must not have a complete understanding of how states vs. federal govt., actually work in the US.

The FED supports the whole country (military, infrastructure, etc.). The states are supposed to support themselves. It's like an economic check and balances test for state governments.

maybe you should tell that to kentucky and other red states next time they want to leech off NY and cali when the federal budget is redistributed. that's socialism anyway, and you sure hate that, don't you?

Yes. States wishing for the FED to pay their bills... IS socialism. Too bad for Cali and NY that this is a capitalist country.



/e Cali and NY became rich because they were states with major ports. Now we have... aviation, so a LOT of states can now be ports.
Cali and NY should have adjusted to the NEW international trade methods. They didn't.

New York, for example, no longer NEEDS to have that many people living in NYC. They are a fairly large state.
California is pretty much in the same boat. All the people live in like...3-4 major cities. There is no longer a NEED for that.

These states have money problems, not because of covid-19, but because they haven't adapted.

you genuinely think those people are "enforcing liberty and freedom"? those morons are accelerating the spread of a deadly virus, while trying to enforce policies that "most americans" actually disagree with, despite trump's and fox news' best attempts to make americans sacrifice themselves to save their stock portfolio.

the entitlement of you snowflakes is truly mindblowing...


Meanwhile in Berlin, Germany

Dozens arrested in anti-COVID-19 lockdown protest in Germany
About 1,000 people turned out for the rally, which has become a weekly event in the German capital, Berlin.

You're really PARD's creep, I have to give you that. Painting a story of "morons spreading a deadly virus in the US" while weirdos in your own country are mass protesting in the nations capital!!!

I would urge PARD to check the link, see the kind of people that take to the streets in Berlin Germany so you understand the disgusting double standards of this typical lefty.

Funny how he gives no actual sources on where he gets this info. Funny how he never mentions population of various states.

funny how that's publicly available information that you're apparently too dumb to google, and funny how the FACT that new york contributes more than it takes out, and kentucky takes more than it contributes is independent of population. to calculate the exact amount per capita, sure, population is relevant, but that's not the point. but hey, can't expect you to understand basic statistics - especially if it debunks your shitty opinion.

that said, are you ok with that kind of socialism?

Since the sources for that info are so easy to Google, and you claim that Cuomo's video is accurate as to his claims, I'll wait until you provide the sources for the info that Cuomo claims.
You wouldn't want to be accused of having someone else... make your point for you, would you?
