True in the U.S. Except, of course, in Alaska. Somehow in Alaska, very red state Alaska, home to Sarah Palin, every state resident gets a dividend from the oil revenue. Not that I approve of the reason why considering no one should be making revenue by fossil fuels, but somehow Republicans are fine with that exception. I wish they were pressed on it occasionally.
They're fine with it because voters would hate to have their free money taken away
Oh, but isn't it an 'entitlement?'
That's the point. It's entitlement when poor people do it. It's "the fair share that they deserve" when they do it. If conservatives didn't have double standards they wouldn't have standards at all.
