When your kids school, and your local library, firehouse and hospital all get their budgets slashed, your public transportation gets even more shitty and expensive, and you still don't have health insurance, you'll know the markets are "working"....
Explain to me again why my federal taxes should pay for your local library, firehouse, hospital and school?
Because in our current situation, who else will be able to guarantee that these services continue? Or should we turn them over to haliburton or whoever else thinks they'll be able to turn a buck off what should be basic human rights?

Since when is a local library a basic human right?
P.S. Haliburton is so 2006. You need to find a new corporate boogyman my friend. How about Fannie and Freddie, they have the same cozy contacts with the current administration that Halliburton had with the old?
So unlike the Ron Paul fan club, your down with helping build libraries for Iraqis, just not Americans?
If Ron Paul wants to build an Iraqi library in your neigborhood I have no problem with it.

so that uneducated, unhealthy, citizens, who have constantly been denied decent resources won't become predators who terrorize overweight,obnoxious, slow-moving targets like yourself and your family

I'll live someplace where people can pay their taxes so there will be a good police force and lots of overcrowded prisons. Probably in a gated community or even in that gated community that always exists within the gated community.

No. Explain to me why my Federal taxes have go to support all these RED welfare states--whose politicians run their whole dickbrained political philosophy around being over-taxed by the Government. LOL.

Did the guy who put this together know that the big state bottom center is Texas??
Explain to me again why my federal taxes should pay for your local library, firehouse, hospital and school?
There is no plan to "pay for library, firehouse, hospital and school with federal taxes".
You are probably referring to provisions in the Stimulus Package that would go to repairing crumbling local libraries. Or to money that would go to making public buildings more energy efficient.
The reasons are many. 1) It would stimulate the economy. 2) It would rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. 3) It would reduce dependence on foreign oil. 4) It would provide poor rural and urban communities with the libraries, firehouses, hospitals and schools their communities need. Other wise the trend of library, firehouse, hospital and school closings in rural and urban communities will continue.
I imagine your question was rhetorical. Your point is you will oppose the president what ever he does. Like the Rs in congress who for 8 years did not see a spending bill they didn't like all the sudden voting in goosestep against the Stimulus Package simply because they are out of power.
The caption says that Texas gets a dollar in federal aid for dollar in taxes. The map says Texas gets .98c for every dollar.
That's the current exchange rate between Texas and the United States
He says '~1.00,' which I took to mean that Texas was included, as it was statistically close enough to qualify.
This probably gets in to stats and margin of error science that most of us aren't qualified to judge.
No it is just a poor use of stats.
Oregon and Florida are the 2 states at a dollar.
What gets into the margin or error and stat science is how the amount for each state is determined.
Social Security payments included? That would certainly put the sunbelt states at a disadvantage. I am guessing SS is not included. That leads me to wonder what else is not included.

Check Alaska the biggest welfare state in the country.
At least it used to be. With Uncle Ted retired and a governor who will build a bridge herself if she wants a bridge, we will see that number come down.

If you live in Gary, IN you can read the back of your no frills macaroni box. It's got big words on it, at least.
Since when is a local library a basic human right?
P.S. Haliburton is so 2006. You need to find a new corporate boogyman my friend. How about Fannie and Freddie, they have the same cozy contacts with the current administration that Halliburton had with the old?
Truth. Only places with a good tax base can have libraries.
That's where the lies are buried.
If Ron Paul wants to build an Iraqi library in your neigborhood I have no problem with it.

Apparently not.
"Note: Texas & Florida break even at $1.00 per Federal tax dollar"
Smack in the middle of Texas it says $0.98
