California gets back like $0.71 cents for every dollar taken from them.

I have seen some statistics that indicate New Mexico and Alaska take in many more federal tax dollars than they provide. California is at a negative balance, only getting back less than 50% of each dollar in services.

There are statistics that show where the most federal money goes, but those can be deceptive. Virginia, I think, gets more federal money than anyone else. But that isn't too suprising considering the national government is partially within Virginia, as is the largest Naval base, etc. |

Imagine this…
A company has factories in Indiana, Kentucky, and Kansas. Their headquarters are in New York. The actual production is being done in the factories but the taxes get paid from New York. Also, all of the highly paid executives live in, and pay taxes in, New York. So it looks like New York is paying more than it’s share of the tax burden but that’s only because they are sucking wealth from the rest of the country. Ditto California and most of the big East Coast cities. Now, I’m a good free marked capitalist and understand why things work this way, so I ain’t bitchin about it. But it does explain how numbers can be manipulated to make it look like the people in flyover country are all welfare queens. |

I'm thinking NY is way up there too. But I would like to see a list of all states and how much they get back. Like the CA example. They get .71% or whatever per person then some state is getting 1.3 or whatever. All fed taxes vs all subsides. Maybe a big farm subsidy states gets more per person. Maybe FL with all the retirees. Mass with Kennedy & Kerry?
I'm leading up to weening that state off the federal teet then putting the top parasite on a budget, then probation, then out. Keep going until the playing field is level. Radical? You bet! Could it use a tweak or two? Probably not.

Alaska gets the most federal spending both in absolute amounts and per capita. By an enormous margin, too. Texas and California get the least both in absolute terms and per capita, pretty surprising when I found that out. So to all you Texans and Californians, thanks!

I don't think state by state numbers are useful. It isn't like the citizens of a particular state just get a check for their share of the federal money. The money gets spent on say military bases, corporate welfare, or some other pork project. That doesn't help the average Joe in the state at all.

Truth-be-told, more "Republican" states are the biggest receivers of Federal revenue while more "Democrat" states are the biggest givers to the Federal revenue. |

Not really. What is shows is that high income states are losers and low income states are winners when it comes to how many federal dollars they get back. A progressive income tax will do that. |

According to the attached study, the "pumper" states are as follows:
New Jersey Connecticut New Hampshire Nevada Illinois Minnesota California Colorado New York Massachusetts Washington State Delaware Michigan Wisconsin Texas The following states break even: Indiana Oregon The remaining states are all "suckers" at the US Government and US Taxpayer Tit. New Mexico is the worst, getting more than 2 times back what they put in. |

 Yeah - that's kinda what I said. Because it just so happens that "rich-people" states that pay more in revenue than they get back are "Red States" and "poor-people" states that pay less in revenue than they get back are the "Blue States". But in all actuality, it's not just the rich vs. poor states reflected in the payers vs. receivers, it's also a factor of simple population. Low population states will tend to get more than their "fair share" compared to high population states because certain fixed appropriations are made equally to all states regardless of need and population. That skews some of the spending to small states with less population. |

I was thinking HI needs to go first. No probation, just get out! Game over. Re-apply in 5 years. Damn, I'd make one hell of a king. You should hear my solution to our crime problem. It's not totally fair but that's too bad.

Also true that it's the large states, New York, CA, Illinois etc. that over-contribute and the small, AK, HI, etc.that under-contribute. |

NY stock exchange, NY harbor, shipping, warehousing really do counteract the humoungous amounts of welfare here.
Do I wish they all went to work like I have to? You bet. Nothing worse than going to look someone up and waking them up at 11:00am because they don't have to get out of bed because you and I already paid their rent, groceries, heat, and light bills. |
