I'm glad you are finally admitting you agree there is a huge transfer of $.
You also have to adjust your numbers for where the biggest military bases and defense contractors are, which states have the most highways, etc...I don't have to adjust the #s - those facts are in it. But those all benefit those states by salaries, purchasing of things, etc. which all impact taxes.
If CT is being unfairly treated by the federal government, shouldn't our congressional delegation (100% democrats) try to fix that for us?

Most people recognize it and are willing to help the poorer states/areas. Just as you and I say thank you to someone who is helping us out/giving us something, it would be nice for those red states to show some appreciation.
