Let me see if I get this right.
The liberals/democrats like all these social programs. They then have to find a way to pay for them so they extor .. errr, tax their constituents to pay for the programs. Soon, very soon, the programs expand and get more pricey so they tax some more. Not long after the programs get so unwieldy they can't pay for them and then their states get in trouble.
Now, their state is in trouble but they still want the programs so ..... they reach out for more money, from the federal coffers. BUT they realize that in so doing they will be taxing their own constituents MORE for their failed programs so ... they exempt their people and force the rest of us to pay for programs we don't have and aren't bankrupting our states.
Is that how it works?
