7. The guy completely misses O'Donnell's point to begin with...

O'Donnell's point wasn't the inequity of the tax system, as I am sure that he is in favor of a progressive tax, or variances in the regional cost of living, it was in the distribution of benefits from the federal government. Where the comparison between Oklahoma and Connecticut should have been a comparison of how much money each state receives from the Federal Government to how much they pay in federal taxes annually. I don't have the figures or the time to research them now, but I am 100% percent positive that Oklahoma pays less in Federal taxes than Connecticut and receives more money from the Federal Government.
