[quote:Anonymous Coward 33125219:MV8yODQ5MDI2XzUwMDY5NjE3XzYwRjUxMw==] [quote:Zedakah:MV8yODQ5MDI2XzUwMDY1NzYzXzM1ODcyNDI=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 69081325:MV8yODQ5MDI2XzUwMDY1Njg5XzdDQ0NEQ0U1] Without getting into any Liberal vs. Conservative crap...anyone else think its ironic that its always the states who take most from the federal government who complain most about the federal government? Alabama would have a standard of living similar to Albania in the early 90s if it wasn't for the federal government taking taxes from the prosperious states, and redistributing that wealth. [/quote] The majority of money that comes into Alabama from the Fed is for military funding. The people of the state don't see a dime of that money, because we have a large amount of military bases, NASA, and a port. If you take out the military funding, Alabama takes far less than most states. [/quote] You're forgetting about how local communities are supported by supplying those basses and all of the money that the troops spend in them. [/quote]
Original Message
"This is the second year HJR112, sponsored by Rep. Ken Johnson (R-Moulton) and cosponsored by 52 additional Republicans, has been approved by the House. Last year the resolution died in the Senate, but Rep. Johnson has high hopes that this year will be the year Alabama officially signs on to the idea of a Article V convention."
