Today is the 250th Army Birthday! Soldiers: Honor our heritage, reflect on who gave all, call up a buddy and check on them, cut a cake with a saber. Step away from the politics, that doesn’t involve you. Be above all the partisan noise- that’s a huge part of the heritage we honor each June 14th.

Oklahoma receives about $3 billion more in federal spending than it pays in federal taxes. That's nearly $8,000 per Oklahoman--only 9 states have a higher per capita balance of payments. Subsidies from MA, NJ, WA, CA, and a few others are how OK remains a "low tax state."
