Lewis Black on The Daily Show: Don't Fuck With New York!

[insidevoice]

This has got to be the funniest political response ad I've ever seen in my life. It came about after Governor Rick Perry of Texas ran a spot attempting to lure business away from various states. Mr. Black chimed in after Gov. Perry came after New York. It's true ... you don't fuck with New York!

LMAO... that's hilarious!

After we clear the smoke from the air, this has what to do with business climate?

blue states like New York are subsidizing red states like Texas

Making overly simple what is far more complex.

For example between 1981 and 2003, Texas paid more in federal taxes than it got back, but since 2003 the reverse has been true, with Texas receiving more than it paid in five out of seven years

Further, what is something federal of which Texas has vastly more than New York?

Military spending, for one thing. About double the spending on federal salaries and wages there too. Shitload of other stuff as well. http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/federal_spending_by_state.php

But even more importantly, New York has Lewis Black, while Texas has some humourless fuck with a terrorist puppet. About as funny as prostate cancer.

Yes, and if the number of military bases in the States of New York and Texas were switched the numbers C-M brings up would look very different.
