hmm. as one of the trackback links to that story noted it makes sense -- those red states are smaller, less populated ones that are therefore overrepresented because their two senators are proportionally more powerful than their allotment of representatives in the house. overrepresented ==> bacon.
notice that most of the "pillaged" are also states which voted Kerry?
Like Texas?narlus said:
what part of "most" don't you understand?
Joking, sorry if I offended you in some way (maybe you're from Texas?)narlus said:
i'd rather kill myself than live in TX.
ok, just wondering, and so would I for that matter
Here's something odd ...
In WA - a "pillaged" blue state
- we don't pay state income taxes - federal only (not counting, of course, all the other bloody taxes they hit you with - car tabs, sales, gas etc)...
How many of the "pillager" states also pay a state income tax?
I don't think I have any kind of a point...but if I did, I think it would be that in the end, most of us are of the pillaged type, regardless of what state we live in

There was a time when I'd make that much in a fortnight... I'm not letting on how much tax I paid though.Changleen said:

tennessee
florida
south dakota
alaska
wyoming
so if you live in one of those states it's doubly good.
Wyoming is rather pretty...so is Alaska I hear
