It's always true. Your precious blue sucks in a major way.
Then why are you always taking our money?
Then why the fuck are we paying for your way? Then why the fuck are we paying for you to have electricity, water, sewers, schools...you don't pay for any of that shit because there aren't enough of you who earn enough to pay for it.
So you come with your hand out to the cities and Blue states because you can't cover your own bills.
You need us far more than we need you.
