Not “FAKE ACCOUNTING”.
On average, households in CA and NY pay more to the fed than any other state including TX. That’s a fact.
Corporate fed revenue apart from individual/household revenue is primarily from TX, CA, and NY in that order.
BAD SPENDING
CA, NY, NJ & Big City States have Bad Spending problems like bad schools, bad traffic, boondoggle rail & trains to nowhere, that nobody wants.
Big City States pay high useless taxes for junk and want responsible states to waste money.
Big City States SHOULD pay very high taxes for their JUNK.
