Here's the rest of the story.
Hannity is inferring these big cities managed by Democrats are dragging us down. Imagine if each state could no longer receive more then they paid in. It would blow his whole theory out of the water wouldn't it?
This constant bickering between who's the better political party to manage things is bull crap. New York needs the Midwest farmers and the farmers need New York. Each for their own reasons. Same goes for the pockets of poverty in Kentucky as it does in Chicago. We are suppose to be the "UNITED" states. Not the "DIVIDED" states as some, like Hannity, constantly perpetuating their false ideas seeks us to be.
New York taxpayers sent about $24 billion more to the U.S. government in 2017 than the state got back in federal spending... The state ranked 47th among the 50 states in the difference between the taxes individuals paid and federal spending received.
ReplyDeletePresently they're almost $120 billion in the hole. Thus probably never been in debt in the first place if they got back the money they paid in starting 5 years ago in 2014.
