Hypocrisy at its finest

no it’s nothing like going to a prostitute. when the federal government has passed a spending bill, a governor would be a moron to refuse that federal money, even if that governor was opposed to the spending bill. AT THAT POINT, it would be a disservice to the citizens of the state to refuse to take the money.

When i was in a teachers union, I spoke out against the benefits we received because i thought it was unfair to the taxpayers. doesn’t mean i should pay out of my pocket when i went to the doctor.

Again, where did I complain?

You don't see hypocrisy in Rand Paul voting against disaster funding and insulting those who need the $ and/or voting for it and then when his state has a disaster asking the fed for the same type of $ he criticized others for requesting?

Those states that depend on the richer states aught to say thank you occasionally. Even though the richer, more successful D states gladly do it, it would be nice to hear that the poorer, less successful R states appreciate it.

this thread was started as a complaint about republican hypocrisy.

it’s not strictly a state thing paul. rich people in poor red states, pay more federal taxes than poor people
in rich blue states.

why should a rich person in alabama say thank you to a poor person on CT?

I started a thread to show Rand Paul's hypocrisy. I haven't said that we shouldn't be paying more to those failed Republican states because I recognized if you want to live in a civilized country some pay more than others. So there's no complaints at all there about aid. I just think they should show a little class and be a little more appreciative. Of course a rich person in One State is going to pay more than a poor person in another state. Are you denying that if the richer successful Democratic states were able to get back all that extra money that they paid to the feds they would be better off? If every state received a dollar back for every dollar paid in tax that would benefit all those Rich Democratic states and hurt those failed Republican states.

In the occasions he posted about, Sen Paul voted for the original relief. Then when congress debated additional relief later on, Sen Paul wanted it paid for, that’s all.

When it happened in KY, Paul voted voted for the original
relief, just as he had done before.

Now if congress debates additional relief later on, and Paul votes for it without demanding that it be laid for, that would be hypocritical.

This assumes that the article i posted, is accurate. if those are indeed the facts, there’s zero hypocrisy. We can debate whether or not it’s worth requiring that a second round of aid be paid for up front. But Paul so far has acted the same way with the KY relief, as he did for previous votes on disaster relief.

By definition, there no hypocrisy if he follows the same process each time.
