States Begging For Bailouts

March 22, 2009 / 2:09 pm • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

This morning, the Governors from Pennsylvania and California and the Mayor of New York met with David Gregory on Meet the Press to share their sad woes. They sung President Obama’s praises because, of course, all three have their greedy little fists waiting anxiously for a bailout.

It’s not that being responsible is impossible. GayPatriot notes that Indiana, Nebraska and Mississippi, Republican-lead states all, are refusing bailout money.

Essentially, taxpayers from responsible states will fund gluttons like California. States who have taxed companies into fleeing will get theirs one way or another. Responsible companies, individuals and states will subsidize the irresponsible…just like banks, just like those who got into homes they couldn’t afford.

Why be responsible when being irresponsible pays?

    “Essentially, taxpayers from responsible states will fund gluttons like California.”

    Actually, your so-called “responsible states” receive, and will continue to receive massive federal subsidies. Mississippi, for example, receives $2.02 from the federal government for every $1 in federal taxes they pay. That’s in addition to all the agricultural subsidies farmers in those states receive.

    Furthermore, if the entire nation were run like those “responsible states”, the US would be a third world nation. The US is wealthy and a world power largely because of the liberal, Democratic, coastal states. The Republican “heartland” is largely subsidized by these coastal states.
