OPINION: We can’t keep rebuilding flood-ravaged homes

[Sailor]

There is nothing I can document that will make you call uncle.

What I will document is this:

"If more people had this kind of civic responsibility, compassion and common sense, this world would be great place".

We have this in CA........when will your state come aboard?

CA has not done that though. Texas has. Maybe you folks could learn something from Texans. As far as my state? Massachusetts? This is the land of Kennedy. Not much else needs be said, and do not for one second think that is a good thing.

At the end of the day taxing more and misspending it isn't compassionate or common sense. Nor is creating a state of rich and poor.

"If more people had this kind of civic responsibility, compassion and common sense, this world would be great place".

what 'civic responsibilty, compassion, and common sense' would you be referring to? be specific.

higher state taxes

 

[PostmodernProphet]

No.

do you consider yourself "holier" than those low life assholes......

Here is another article from the SACBEE that is an eye opener. http://www.sacbee.com/site-services/databases/article133246624.html

I am not putting down CA and its need sometimes for disaster relief. The same for any state. But when a person of one state tries to belittle someone from another or tries to sling bullshit, well, it has to be addressed.

You mean like your bullshit?


California’s give and take

"In January 2017, the California Legislative Analyst’s Office said by several measures California is, indeed, a donor state, but just barely. It receives $0.99 in federal expenditures per dollar of taxes paid, which is below the national average return for states of $1.22 per dollar paid, according to its review of a 2015 New York Comptroller study." Most states are takers. California is not on that list. California appears revenue neutral with respect to fed. Isn't that the goal?

We are in perfect sync!

I love how you shoot yourself in the foot with your own stupidity you babbling idiot. Now how about those two articles I posted above that, gasp, show you shot yourself in the head. Why are you avoiding them?

[Cancel 2018.1]

Montana surprises me. So does Maine.

 

[Sailor]

I can see PackD is lamely attempting to save face here. And losing as usual.

 

[TTQ64]

He's not worth it.

 

[Bill]

Montana surprises me. So does Maine.

What about calif @ 46?

 

[Cancel 2018.1]

What about calif @ 46?

That too, there's others, e.g., Alaska with it's small population, and large percentage of Natives on the dole and large military presence relative to population. I figured we be in the top 3.

 

[Rune]

Is there anywhere in America that you don't think is a shithole?

that would be north and east to you.

Well, I'll be. Look at many states in that shithole South are at the top of the list.

 

[Русский агент]

I surely hope that DEMOCRATS make canceling federal flood insurance one of their policy positions in the upcoming midterms.

That should help them get votes.

 

[Bill]

lol, I was surprised you weren't also......

mcConnel & paul, two proud "so called conservatives" from the biggest leach state in the union.. bogus frauds, Goldwater would have backhanded them both to the floor & told them to crawl out of the room.......

 

[Micawber]

There are a lot of ways to dice up the stats, but none of them are flattering to the SE US. Be that as it may, yes California is interdependent on the federal government. California provides the federal government with major cash. It is the 6th largest economy in the whole world stand alone. If one state could build a wall and call itself a country doing bilateral trade deals where it wished, it's California. The economy isn't a one trick pony like Texas or Alaska. We don't tank when oil prices go down like Texas and its BFF Russia do.
