Oops! I mean to say “People in the states that went democratic tend pay more in Federal taxes.”

People in the states that went democratic tend to vote democratic. I don’t know if that applies to counties. If it does they’re just taking their money back. (On the other hand, that also makes the entire exercise look pointless.)

Correct Fred, with one minor change:

1. Stupid and lazy people are disproportionately journalists, and journalists are disproportionately stupid and lazy.

Like, everybody is kidding right? I mean when they say they don’t understand?

The syllogisms are quite simple.

1. Stupid and lazy people are disproportionately poor, and the poor are disproportionately stupid and lazy.
2. The poor get more government money than others.
3. Stupid and lazy people disproportionately vote Democrat.

I’ll bet these people were getting more money than the average before the stimulus.

FDR, on the other hand, who was vastly smarter than Mr Obama, ensured that the lion’s share of his stimulus moneys would flow to districts not that had voted for him, but that had been close in their opposition. Money went primarily to areas, not that needed it most, but that offered the best prospect of turning Democrat. Worked pretty well for him, IIRC.
