That’s essentially the discrepancy going on here.
- danielrpa 6y agoI'm just saying that if CA/NY believe in "from each according to its ability, to each according to their needs", as they appear to given their tax laws and public policies, people should be fine with them being donor states. After all, a staunchly republican poor individual in CA/NY still gets the same benefits as a poor democrat, because need (not opinions) dictates how much you get. Of course, Texas isn't exactly poor, my point is more relevant to states like South Carolina, Louisiana etc.
