"rural America is heavily subsidized by urban America."

The truth is that rural America is heavily subsidized by urban America. You can see this by looking at states’ federal balance of payments — the difference between federal spending in a state and the amount a state pays in federal taxes.

There have been many articles written about how Democrats need to reach out to rural voters, and of course they need to keep trying. But rural perceptions are so much at odds with reality, and rural America is becoming so monolithic politically, that it’s hard to imagine that they’ll have much success.

Once again, our Stone brained MAGA minion is carrying water for the wealthy who wipe their feet on him....just like the Orange Oaf. Sad.


:magagrin:

And as usual, when Stoney is proven dead wrong and can't muster a logical and/or fact based rebuttal, he resorts to this silly assed meme.

Stoney is cementing his place in MAGA troll history. Carry on.
 
This is the reason our schools get so much less state aid than schools in urban areas. It is based off of property values and ours are thru the roof.

Most states are still taking money from urban schools and given it to rural schools based on old wealth distributions.
 
and how much of this "subsidy" is in the form of govt operations like military bases and such ?

if you need large tracts of land and not a lot of grief over noise and such red states fit the bill.
 
Sure. We know the GOP doesn't care about the poor. It's sad that the people most in need (and who often get the most in federal aid) don't realize that their support of those politicians is counter to their own personal good. But I can't force someone to think through their position. Certainly me withholding necessary help isn't going to convince them to change their ways.

The only thing that saves America is that the Republican mindset ultimately soften to include care for others who are not us. I'm certain at one point it had that component.

I see no homeless tents here in rural PA. Lots of fields and pastures containing our (and your) food, though...

Stop being a fucking retard. You really don't understand trade deficits? How'd you like to go with no food?
 
So they move out where you are, when they no longer need to make money from being productive?

No. They work their whole lives and sell their home in the city to finally be able to move out where I live so they can finally live like a Human. Breathe clean air, drink clean water,....Massive lakes and lake property all over filled with shiney happy people....LOL A taste of Heaven. That costs money Walter, real money. I have known hundreds if not thousands of people who worked their entire lives to finally be able to move here and enjoy. I dont know a single soul who worked their entire lives so they can finally move to Chicago. :laugh: Try not to be so stupid if you can Walt.

The problem is, they bring their "wokeness" along with them and are slowly destroying our traditions and values.
