However, in order to change that, you need to provide the people that work with the military other ways to get jobs

so not only are they using that funding, they're using it in the wrong places, while voting for people who are working toward dismantling that social structure? Can't imagine 'social funding' is any republican platform. (unless it's military spending?)

anyway, the whole right/left paradigm. i don't really follow it.

for example, i am not a liberal :1orglaugh

I can agree with everything you just said.

Our country has built up such a vast military industrial complex that it's a huge driver of the economy in a lot of states.
It's a sad situation.

Percentages and dollars don't count at this time.

No body has broken down WHAT taxes are being divided by population to arrive at the revenue per capita dollar number.

When you look at the total federal tax revenue by state, collected by the IRS you are including individual AND corporate dollars. They are mixed. So ????

Why does California get credit for Toyota USA paying the Feds from their corporate headquarters in California. Why does each resident of California get their per capita revenue figure bolstered by the tax on profit from every Toyota vehicle sold in the rest of the country?

Why do New York residents get to divide per capita tax collected on every penny declared as profit from investment bank/stock brokerages on transaction across the country just because their corp headquarters pay from Wall St?

Why does Procter and Gamble out of Ohio up the percentage of their residents from tax collected on consumer products sold in other states? Proctor and Gamble probably has a half dozen products in every house in every state but pay from corporate offices in Cincinnati Ohio.

Think where most big tax paying corporations are located ?.. Look at those states on the list now and you'll see why the numbers are incorrect. Poor guy in New Mexico driving a Toyota has just increased the per capita numbers for some guy in California.

Umm no if you don't agree with letting big business rape the country and giving all our tax dollars to the military then you are a liberal.. Sorry but true story.

There was time when at least the right used to "pretend" they were fiscal conservatives, however that time has long past and to be honestly they really never were. They just live in a little dream world where it's rainbows & unicorns when they hold the high office but always doom & gloom when they don't.
