Looks like we are paying our share

Funny is the states that are on the list. Most are Republican strongholds....Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansasa, S. Carolina, Utah, Florida, New Mexico, Idaho.
Not all that funny.

When I grew up most were Democrat strongholds. My family was mostly staunch Southern Democrats.

That party has swung so far to the left away from their beliefs, most of those states now go to Republicans.

Democrats pander to big inner cities and populous states. With the exception of Tx and Fl, they don't really care about the states you mention. California and New York are shining examples of Democrat strongholds. Both very liberal. Both with severe budget problems and sky high taxes. Both have a lot of electoral votes.
