Yeah, you're correct, zzshart ... if it wasn't for the responsible red states, the whole country would be a third-world sh!thole like California, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
As for double-taxation ... no, the result is NOT the same. Your Marxist "paradise" of a state easily has the ability to stop punishing you with confiscatory taxes that it pisses away in libtard schemes and handouts to keep leftist ideologues in power. The burden of your state's taxes are NOT the responsibility of the federal government or of U.S. citizens who reside outside of your state.
