Put your money where your "moral values" are: Daily Howler links to the Tax Foundation tables that show the “red states”—"the states whose denizens love to preach that bracing self-reliance—routinely take in more federal money than they submit in taxes." He continues:
We’re tired of stupid political arguments based on blatantly cherry-picked Scripture, and we’re tired of listening to talk-show conservatives stage their endless Pity Parties. Do “northeastern elites” have troubling values? Sorry, but one of their values is handing free money to the less fortunate—a value red-staters seem to affirm as they stuff the free dough in their pants.
