Donor States Being Taxed More by Welfare States

A Rockefeller Institute of Government study (“New York’s Balance of Payments with the Federal Government”) showed thirteen states sent more money to Washington, D.C. than was received back. Of these 13 Donor States, nine voted for Clinton, four for Trump.

Of the remaining 37 Welfare states (receiving more money than sending), 11 voted for Clinton, 26 for Trump.

The proposed Republican tax reform plans would generally result in the Donor states contributing even more money to the Welfare states.

Since California is one of the Donor states, we should do something about this increased redistribution of wealth, which is to our economic detriment.

Every California Republican member of Congress should be asked how he or she will vote on the tax proposal reconciliation. If that Representative will not pledge to vote “No,” then Recall procedures should be begun, in order to stop the Welfare states from further plundering the Donor states.

What if Moore had done it to your family?

To President Trump and the male voters of Alabama:

If Roy Moore had done to your wife, your sister, or your daughter(s) what Moore apparently has done to so many other young girls, would you still support him? Would you still vote for him?

The issue should be introduced in the halls of Congress.

Is there a conflict of interest in Welfare states’ representatives voting to take even more wealth for their constituents?

Even if it is determined that there is no conflict of interest as defined by law, there is still very much an issue of a violation of ethical standards.
