Deadbeat states

Atrios compiles the list. Thisbit of conservative hypocrisy never fails to gall me. Republicans spend much of their time firing up their base about the shameful economic values of the blue states: the liberal elites' love of taxation and putting all decisions in the hands of the government feeds sclerotic welfare states that must be kept away from the federal government. While the whole time our blue state tax dollars are supporting all the poor souls in their low wage corporate utopias because we still cling to this silly belief that people shouldn't be allowed to starve and die in the streets of the richest nation in the world. Grrrr.
