    Here's a study from Georgia State, done in 2009, showing that the funding for rural areas comes from urban areas.

    Wrong.

    I provide more.

    I am an Atlanta resident, and as such, pay an extra $500 so the rest of the state can live comfortably.

    The Atlanta metro area pays 51% of the taxes, but only receives 35% of the spending.

    So what does that mean, genius?

    None of which would be possible without the infrastructure that is paid by the urban dwellers of your state.

    In my state, the Atlanta metro area pays 51% of the taxes, but only gets 35% of the spending.

    How so?

    I linked to you the study from Georgia State that shows how much Atlanta residents pay vs. what they get back; that's applicable to pretty much every state, red and blue...urban areas simply have more people, generate more wealth, and pay more taxes than their rural trash counterparts.

    No doubt those revenues were up due to anticipation of the tax cut.

    "...the 3% promised?" You believe campaign rhetoric? You probably believed the "Hope & Change" thing, also.

    But what you didn't bother to mention was that FY 2018 didn't have a full year of tax cuts...it only had 9 months of tax cuts. And the nine months of tax cuts saw $16B less in revenues than the same nine months of the prior fiscal year. Which means...what? Come on, Flash, you're only playing at being dumb. You know what it means. That the Russia Tax Cut reduced revenues.

    And yes, revenue grew in FY 2019, however, revenue would have been higher than it is now if taxes weren't cut in FY 2018.
    I never argued that tax cuts raise or lower revenue. I said revenue increased in FY2018 and FY 2019. That was simply to refute your argument suggesting tax cuts never raise revenue.

    If I think taxes are too high I think they should be cut even if it does reduce revenue. As I said before that you ignore, I did not favor the 2017 tax cuts without cutting spending an equal amount.

    Is that the reason you would not admit you were totally wrong when you claimed a person cannot be prosecuted for assaulting or killing a Nazi (standing peacefully) because he is an "inherent threat" even after I showed you constitutional law and court cases that proved you didn't know what you were talking about?

    No, you just dropped the topic.

    Or, after I said there were about 8 million people who voted for Obama in 2012 who voted for Trump in 2016? You gave us a bunch of math claiming that was not true because that would not account for several million votes. I showed you 7 million voted for 3rd party candidates and you dropped the topic.

    You issue insults with your charges of "sophist," "bad faith," or "entitled" (never used appropriately) while engaging in the same hypocritical cherry picked crap this is never an argument against the point being made but diverting to other issues or challenging trivia or arguing against things nobody ever said.

    Explain that, please. Because revenue was up more the prior FY.
