You must realize only the left is allowed to run around labeling a US President a nazi, satan, Hitler etc. When the left protests, their message and movement is considered grass roots and organic, with activists leading the cause. When the right protests we are nothing more than a bunch of redneck clan members synthetically organized by big insurance companies with nazis leading the cause. We are supposed to just work hard, shut the f up and keep the money flowing for the infinite number of government teet programs that support those that evil America has so devilishly wronged. Our government's fostering of dependents is a slippery slope that has created a spreading rash of victimhood and entitlement mental disorders. The government healthcare plan is no different, only its' long term aim is to eliminate choice completely and move the entire population on our first step down the road towards total dependency. I guess the only right to choose that will be left when it comes to healthcare will be a woman's right to choose...Lord knows they don't want that choice taken off the table.
Let me start by saying I despise the use of the word redneck by anyone of any demographic region or political association. The definition being today: a redneck is a stereotypical southern United States socially conservative, fiscally liberal, rural, working class white person with northern European ancestry.
Having said that, since you used it and described Southerners, who are primarily Conservatives, as paying for nonsensical Liberal government programs, you may want to stop and eat your words.
If you take a look at the States most feeding at the Federal trough, you'll find them to be mostly Red States.
The
Tax Foundation has released a fascinating
report showing which states benefit from federal tax and spending policies, and which states foot the bill.
The report shows that of the 32 states (and the District of Columbia) that are "winners" -- receiving more in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes -- 76% are Red States that voted for George Bush in 2000.
Indeed, 17 of the 20 (85%) states receiving the most federal spending per dollar of federal taxes paid are Red States. Here are the Top 10 states that feed at the federal trough (with Red States highlighted in bold):
The report is from 2004, but you'll find that not much has changed and if you can find something more recent negating these findings, good luck, because you won't.
