What do you mean?

Well, before the civil war the exact opposite of this situation was true. The South was paying huge amounts in taxes and much of that tax money was going to New England and New England was using the tax money to build up their own infrastructure and this is one of the big complaints southern politicians had and was one of the reasons behind secession.

If the Republicans get there canditate elected in 2008 and the states fall in the same way that they did in 2004. What do you think that those states that voted Democrat will feel like, or do, when you cosider that the "Democratic" states pay through federal taxes for the "Republican" states?

I'm amused that the Yankee states are finally starting to understand the Souther position on Federalism and States Rights. Hopefully this will teach them a lesson that an overly powerful national government (or really any government) is only good if you're the one who controls it and that smaller government is the only real solution.

This proves one thing.

God has a sense of humor for sure.
