Make sure you tell them:
1) ...of the 32 states (and the District of Columbia) that are "winners" -- receiving more in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes -- 76% are Red States that voted for George Bush in 2000. Indeed, 17 of the 20 (85%) states receiving the most federal spending per dollar of federal taxes paid are Red States.

4) It's their own boy, Bush, that's keeping that money from them.
5) All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your F****** Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you're the ones who built on a F****** swamp. "Let the Spanish keep it, it’s a s***hole," we said, but you had to have your f****** orange juice.
The next dickwad who says, "It’s your money, not the government's money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal f****** dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, mother******, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, asshole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, assholes, it’s f****** our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance?

7) Don't blame me, I voted for John Kerry.
