These fucking Republicans and "their" goddamned taxes. . . .

I ALREADY have very, very little patience with people who piss, bitch and moan about their income taxes. I live in California, a high cost state in the very, very high cost city of San Francisco. Yes, I pay a hefty chunk of my income in state and federal taxes every year. The safety net California provides, while far, far, far from perfect, exceeds the very best in ALL the red states.

Now, for my rant, and this has been marinating all day after seeing some tRump-supporting FOOL bitch about his taxes on television this morning.

I was curious, as I have always heard that red states are the "taker" states (I apologize to all my left wing friends in red states) while blue states are usually the "giver" states.
Well, lo and behold. . . . .

Those hypocritical pig fuckers!

It gets worse. . . . . These rural red states like Wyoming and Montana get an exponential "bang for their buck"

. . .. "As a result each of Wyoming's three electoral votes corresponds to 177,556 people. Understood in one way, these people have 3.18 times as much clout in the Electoral College as an average American, or 318%". . .

This is some fucked up shit. We pay more taxes for those goddamned, worthless Republican states, YET our votes don't carry the same wallop that those of the pig fuckers do.

I am really disgusted--not at the fact that we pay taxes--but that we are underrepresented (fuck the electoral college) and that we have to subsidize those neanderthals and indirectly pay for their care after they fall down drunk in the goddamned outhouse.

Why should we give out to these taker red states? I know it's impossible but they should change the formula you only get what you put in as a state. We are subsidizing the Mississippi old southern states.

Is that city-slicker speak for "hard working Americans"?

I also love how the #1 supposed "taker" state is - the "red" state of New Mexico.

Yeah, they voted for Democrats in 6 of the last 7 presidential election, those red state fuckers.

And those 800,000 voters get one electoral vote for every 160,000 voters, compared to one vote for 300.000 for Ohio. And Vermont gets one electoral vote for every 100,000 voters.

Those dirty maple tree humpers.
