You do care since you replied...id even dare to say you seem seriously butthurt.
the facts show that Texas receives nearly 80 BILLION a year more than it gives out
What facts? A tweet you read? Theres literally a factual link i posted showing TX and 18 other states pay more than they receive.
Use your brain. The country wouldnt work if only a few states supported the entire economy plus $80B per year is peanuts at this level.
Lastly theres nothing wrong with the wealthy and privileged paying a bit more in taxes to support the less fortunate. We live in a society despite the greed of selfish people like you.
No one GIVES Texas federal dollars. Get a load of this: I live here and I pay federal taxes!
It's so painful to see something this stupid, and to know that there are people out there who think that Texans don't pay federal taxes. Don't you think EVERYONE would move here if that were the case?
