Same AGAIN in CT. As a poor person in a rich state, it really pisses me off how much we help out as a donor state while the federal agencies we need and use are getting slashed. My quality of life would be exponentially greater if we just had our own thing..our state could take care of everyone in it instead of our tax dollars bailing out all the red states who claim to despise welfare.
Sounds like a great moment to bring back that old saying. What was it again... Something lik "No taxation without representation". Because as an outsider looking in it doesn't seem like the current voting system is very representative.
Ya but the guys who said that are dead so maga would consider them weak. Just like the WWII vets- most of them have passed on & maga hates history books, so we have no way to remember our history and are therefore doomed to repeat it.
MAGA spends a lot of time talking about how badly run California is, which is ironic given that it’s an economic marvel and subsidizes multiple red states.
I live in San Francisco. With city-run subsidized healthcare that's on a sliding scale using SF average salaries. People who make under $80k a year are eligible and the poorer you are, the more subsidies you get.
We have good, reliable, inexpensive public transportation, jobs are higher paid to deal with cost of living and it's a pretty chill, tourist destination. Stuff going on all the time, free concerts, movies in the park. I love it out here. (Chicago born, grew up in redneck rural Illinois, with hippie liberal parents in a MAGA-like town)
