While true, you’re basically toeing the right-wing line that socialism is bad and we should all look out for ourselves. I don’t mind FL getting more emergency assistance than I do being way inland. I only mind that I seem to be paying more into it than Bezos or Musk do.
They can’t have it both ways imo. If they’re reaping the benefits of it, then they should acknowledge it’s good and should be in place. That’s blatantly not the case though.
I personally would prefer if we continue to support these people since plenty of the people living in those states are not voting against their own self-interest. Imo, caring people living in the deep red or deep blue states should move to more purple districts in purple states to help move the country as a whole to be more caring politically.
I think blue states should also move to implement more safety nets on their own instead of waiting for a blue supermajority federally. If people see how their state and local government can work for them, they’d be more likely to want those policies in their own states. States by that same token should be willing to go into debt to fund long running infrastructure and policies that will be value adds to the state and residents living there.

Socialism isn’t the same thing as collectivism or the government doing stuff.
I don’t think that’s what they are implying just stating that is how it’s being presented to a certain electoral demographic.
