Before getting to National Teabagging Batshit Crazy Day (which I will get to later as I am still marinating in it having WORKED ALL DAY) I just wanted to share a little exchange between commenters over at Michelle Malkin’s House O’ Bedlamites because it just says so much:
Oh, and BTW — we don’t really expect much out of New York, which lives entirely on Federal subsidies. Welfare for the poor, bailouts for the bankers, and OUTRAGE! at the people of flyover country don’t add up to much material.

thanks for the correction.Oh, and BTW — we don’t really expect much out of New York, which lives entirely on Federal subsidies.
for every federal tax dollar paid in NY, only 79 cents come back to the state. the rest goes to flyover country. you’re welcome.

Uh, so only $.21 goes to support the COUNTRY? Like defense? or border security? or Washington?
Interesting…

Keep in mind that it is from this pool of talent that Republicans must drink deep in order to achieve what Mark Ambinder calls "meaningful political participation".

And they were all at the Nuremberg rally in Portland today. It was disgusting. My mock up scrotum didn’t phase ‘em ’cause they are too stupid to know they’ve been had.

Ah, conservatives. Solid ivory from the neck up.
That’s some fancy cipherin’. Math is so fascist.
With all the practice during the last 8 (or 28, take your pick) years, these jokers can knee-jerk on a dime.
No, it means NY pays for all its own support and security AND some of yours.
And considering NY has been attacked three times (2 wtc attacks, and anthrax), I’d say it deserves every penny for security it gets.
I’m no longer quite so sure every life is precious.

No, for every dollar red states pay in taxes, they’re sucking an extra $.32 from things like border security, defense, etc. So chew on this while you’re sucking on a tea bag:
As a New Yorker, thank you for pointing out, again, the disparity between tax-money paid vs. tax money received. You’re welcome.
As for the doughty secessionists: please do.
Retarded fucking fucks, fuck ‘em. Assholes.
The Malkinites are disappointed in the NY teabagging turnout? As a NY’er let me be the first to express my pride. Although, to be fair, there was surely much teabagging going on in our fair state yesterday. They were no doubt looking in the wrong neighborhoods.
As always, well said JDM3.
These guys don’t even need statistics to lie for them; they’ll take a fact, beat it with their manly stick of stupidity, and then come the conclusion they were planning on coming to before said fact darkened their brainscape. As usual.
You should take down the picture of Elvira and Jenny Lee Snow. It’s insulting to their memory for you to associate them with the people you’re talking about in this post.
Multiply Romeo13 by 30MM and you have the Republican Base. Fox News sure has educated them well. Delta-Uniform-Mike-Bravo
Ah, Ric locke, protein wisdom star and all around moron. If Texas could call upon his lack of knowledge to power the State, they could secede.
i can understand north dakota needing the extra tax dollars. that’s a long border they have to patrol.
