$5.38 <- What South Carolina gets back on its' investment to the Feds. They are number 40 on the list in terms of what they put in.

$.48 cents <- What NJ gets back on our investment to the Feds. We are ranked number 1 for putting into the Feds.

For the purpose of distributing Federal tax dollars around the state of S.C. - at their state house - Governor Haley tear down that flag!

I could care less what private homeowners do in S.C. - they are a 16 hour car drive from me - and cant impact my property value in NJ. Don't care about their bumper sticker or t-shirt either.

Conducting business of the State with my money which we would spend far more effectively in Hunterdon County NJ - I expect them to be solid patriotic all for one and one for all Americans.

They aren't independent - they are dependent. And being dependent on my income 1000 miles away - I expect them to toe the line. They lost the war - and their days of winning the peace are over.

Their state house - using money from states that don't fly Johnny Reb colors to conduct the business of South Carolina - must not offend the citizens of other states giving the our hard earned money - so they can continue to perpetuate institutionalized racism. It's bad enough they do that - their faces are dirty in that regard. At least their hands should be clean.
