Entitle it like it is Mr. Ryan!

House Republican, Paul Ryan was recently on a radio talk show preaching the Tea Partied Republican “cut entitlement program” sermon by bashing entitlement recipients as “lazy”!

When Mr. Ryan and other Tea Partied lawmakers(?) attack “entitlement” programs, they are attacking Social Security and Medicare recipients, Medicaid recipients, most Veterans’ Administration programs, federal employee and military retirement plans, unemployment compensation, food stamps, and agricultural price support programs.”

You see –Tea Partied Republican congressional lawmakers(?) like Mr. Ryan love to pander to their base by falsely associating “entitlement” and any other government funded program with people who are “lazy”- the Tea Partied insult code word for Blacks, Hispanics, the working poor, and the economically disadvantaged!

What Mr. Ryan and other Tea Partied Republican lawmakers(?) don't want you to know is that the “lazy” individuals they are mislabeling are – for the most part -  the very same individuals who elected them into office!?!?!

Here is a list of states that receive more in federal government funding then they contribute in federal taxes due to economic factors such as per capita income, industries, and cost of living. 

(Note that red states voted Republican and blue states voted Democrat in the 2012 General Election)

Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas Colorado Florida Georgia Idaho Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi Missouri

Montana Nebraska New Hampshire North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia West Virginia Wyoming
