If you haven't noticed, I posted sources. As for benefitting from farm subsidies, the question is whether the benefits that New Jersey gains equal the amount that New Jersey loses. You assume it does. I assume it doesn't. Unless one of us is willing to do the research to prove it one way or the other, we are at an impasse.
Regarding wealth transfer. Is their any more obnoxious form of wealth transfer than when the ownership of significant areas of a State's land is transferred to the federal government. Careful, if you answer no you might be a leftwing commie.
While I'm quite sick of everyone on Free Republic declaring "If you don't agree with me, you are probably a leftwing commie.", I agree that the Federal government should not have grabbed much of the land it has grabbed from the Federal states. My point seems not all that dissimilar to yours -- which is that the Federal government should step back and let states deal more with their own affairs.
Because the Federal government has grabbed so much of the land in some of those states, that typo isn't, alas, as inaccurate as it should be.
