    As Spock would say, "this is illogical". So why do you not want to keep more of what you earn, and why do you not want American companies to be able to make their goods here, employing American workers instead of making everything in China.

    Those who bitch about taxes tend to be the ones who use the most in tax paid services. Republican states on average use use far more in federal aid than they pay in federal taxes.

    Conservatives want the rich to pay less taxes and the middle class to pay more.

    thats what happens in the GOP tax plan.

    The states that use the most tax dollars are the poor impoverished states like California

    And in states where Republicans control the government, on average, those states use far more in federal aid than they pay in federal taxes, and spending is off the charts.

    When republicans don't really care about small government and low spending, as long as they are the ones deciding what the money is being spent on.

    That's an idea. Ban peoplle on welfare from voting. Or even contributing to political campaigns....

    And not just humans, but ALL people.

    So any corporation which receives subsidies (corporate welfare) has all it's executives and shareholders banned from voting.

    I have to admit, the GOP is really good at Selling BS to the uninformed.

    Enjoy that $18 per paycheck ... and Remeber, it will be gone before you know it. But reast assured, you’ll be remembered for the Perminant Tax-Cut by people who wouldn’t Piss on you if you were on Fire.

    Democrats don't want to pay more income taxes, they want the 53% of Americans who pay all the income taxes to pay more for free stuff for them! The last time we had a tax cut & reform like this, was in 1963 by JFK. When questioned by his fellow democrats why it was a 10% cut across the board, he replied "A rising tide lifts all boats." Guess what happened, the economy grew, unemployment went down and revenue to the treasury went up! The democrats after JFK became economically stupid and invested in the culture of class envy! If the same thing happens in 2018, they will have egg on their face and have permanently lost the "economy issue" with middle America!

    and now the rest of the story.......

    Technically, it may be true that many/most of the highest consuming states of government aid are indeed red. With that being said, the biggest recipients of government aid are undeniably people in the lowest economic quintile. Democrats win the lowest income quintile by HUGE margins in EVERY state in the union. While they may reside in a red state, the recipients of that aid are overwhelmingly Democrat. With that being the case, it is wholly misleading, bordering on an outright lie, to claim that the people who complain about high taxes are the ones using the most government aid. You are allowing your partisanship to trump common sense. Of course the people complaining about taxes are the ones paying taxes, NOT the ones receiving government aid.

    False chart. It makes a difference if a state is a low or high tax state to mean anything at all.

    They are dependent on govt. Govt is dependent on taxes. Ergo, they are dependent on taxes.

    That's because the poor and needy flock to red states where they know they will be better provided for.
