That's because those rural folk are paying more in taxes. Those jobless tribals in the inner city don't pay any at all
No, as I wrote above, they get $2.81 for every $1.00 they pay in taxes. City-dwellers get less than they put in.
@WilyRickWiles could you cite a source? I would like to investigate further. Maybe it is from extra taxes due to living in the city?
@The_Farseer It's from the state's flat 4.95% income tax (EDIT: It looks at the 6.25% state sales tax and lottery sales too). [opensiuc.lib.siu.edu]
How is this a "Hello"? Lol! XD
Hmmm... thought I chose "Politics," though I guess it still qualified as "General." Fixed now.
