we all heard the story, red states versus blue states, conservatives versus liberals. one way to look at the political map. but there s another much lesser known phenomenon at work when it comes to red versus blue and it may have less to do with your politics than with your pocketbook and it s how much those states spend when it comes to federal tax dollars compared to how much they collect from the federal government. so-called donor states pay more in federal taxes to uncle sam. they are comprised typically of high income earners in urban areas and vote demonstrate. they get the least amount back from federal government. the best deal states on the other hand are rural states in the west and vote republican. many blue states like new york and california don t get much at all from uncle sam compared to what they pay consistently
and spirituality guaranteed to each individual under the constitution. when you are saying same-sex marriage, you are saying a particular type of marriage. the supreme court has looked at marriage and said that the right to marry is a fundamental right for all citizens. call it interaction marriage and then you could prohibit it. the supreme court said no. the judge after hearing three weeks of testimony and a full day of closing arguments and listening to experts from all over the world concluded that the denial of the right to marry to these individuals in california hurt them and did not advance the cause of opposite sex marriage. this is what judges are expected to do. it is not judicial activism. it is judicial responsibility in its classic sense. chris: so see sighty doesn t get to say that marriage should be between a man and a woman even though society has said that for thousands of years. 7 million people in california
7 million people in california don t get to say that marriage is between a man and a woman even though just november of 2008, 7 million californians voted they wanted to change their own state constitution to say just that? in the 1960s, an equivalent number of californians voted to change the constitution to say that you could discriminate on the basis of race in the sale of your home. the united states supreme court struck that down. if 7 million california yans were to decide we should have separate but equal schools or send some of the citizens to separate drinking fountains or have them be in the back of the bus that would be unconstitutional. if we didn t have a separation of powers, if we didn t have a bill of rights then 7 million californians could take away your rights or my rights or the rights of these citizens in california. but we do have a bill of rights and it is intended to protect us.
