Who is and isn't getting subsizied is a matter of economic fact - not political theories of who gets how much say in the spending of tax revenues collected.

And the details of of which individuals are paying the bulk of those taxes and which one's are not is absolutely relevant to the determination of that economic fact.

Fiat currency is merely a medium of exchange for wealth. That wealth belonged to the individauls who possesed that currency.

Actually ALL coins and bills belong to the federal government, but that is nit picking. It pains me to say so, but in a way Gilbert is right.

The English system works nicely because they have a Parliamentary system. There people vote for their Members of Parliament based on their preference for Prime Minister.

It is all the money of the specific individual taxpayers who paid it to the federal government and the state governments.

The only Tennessee citizens being subsidized are the specific individuals whose absolute dollars of tax payments to both levels of government are less than the absolute dollar value of explicit, direct government services they are receiving from both levels of government calculated on a user fee basis.

Anyone paying more than that amount is subsidizing somebody else. Since the top 50% of income earners pay about 97% of federal income taxes collected and likely a significant percentage of state taxes collected as well, they aren't the one's getting any benefit from the alleged state "socialism".

Flyte
Cafe Fundamental (brunch)
Catbird Seat
Bonus to the person who said Calypso, because I probably eat there more often than anywhere.

Not a fan of the decor at all. I ate in the purple dining room on the street level, and wasn't particularly taken with the art or purple walls.

And the article is about "Federal Aid as a Percentage of State General Revenue," not "federal taxes in and out."
