"Facts matter. Here are a few to counteract your nonsense.
- Republican states receive more federal funding than Democratic states. That includes those Hannity touts in this particular rant, like Louisiana and South Carolina.
- Make a million, keep half. That's half a million in your pocket, dude. Hannity goes on and on about how places like California and New York are so "overtaxed" that people are just going to rebel and...you know. He ignores the fact that wages are higher in these states, and high-earning individuals live in them. Here's a dirty little secret: If you earn a million dollars and pay 50 percent in taxes, you still have half a million in your pocket. That would be different than the person who earns $25,000 and might pay no federal or state income tax, but does pay sales tax and spends every single penny of that net income to live. They have zero in their pockets. Who comes out ahead?"
