We do subsidize poor states. You speak as though Red states contribute anything to the federal government. With the exception of Texas, Georgia and some oil rich states, all of the Red states are takers and just about all of the Blue states are givers.
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoRed states also tend to have a lot more poverty and less economic development. Why should rich areas of the country receive just as much federal aid as poor areas? It makes sense that different states receive different aid.
- mullen 9y agoThey don't. For every dollar we send the Federal government, we (California) gets back 88 cents. Mississippi gets something like $4 for every $1 it sends to the Federal government.
