Yup, as I said - classy guy. Calling Dems. whores bc you don't like their politics.
"it is the conservatives who have their hands in other people's pockets"

Not in this state. If you're talking about the feds, the democrats controlled both houses of the legislature not long ago, and they didn't fix the federal shift of money from wealthy areas to poor areas. So I'm not sure you can say that's only a conservative issue. The democrats had ample opportunity to change that and didn't.

Paul, are you in favor of federal income tax collected for state residents, to stay in that state? You don't think we should subsidize poor states? How about states that have massive military bases, CT doesn't have a responsibility to fund a portion of those?

"Calling Dems. whores bc you don't like their politics. "

If by "politics" you mean taxing us to death and then looting that tax revenue for themselves and their union benefactors, you're right, I don't like their politics.

You don't like the word whore, you can't get past it. I'm sorry, Paul. You can't make my conclusion wrong, all you can do is object to the word I use to describe it?
