False, "blue states" largely pay the bill. For every dollar I get taxed in California, I get less than a dollar in Federal Government services. Florida gets over $4. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive

Chris, yes his ban is racist. And, if you feel it isn't racist then let's just agree it is unconstitutional. The Constitution makes it very clear that people can't be singled out because of religion. So, at best, he's er

For what reason? Because 26% of voters felt bullied? How about the 42% that stayed home and didn't vote?
