This is patently false.
Every analysis you'll read about Federal tax revenues and expenditures by state will show that these high-tax "blue" states pay far more in Federal taxes than they get in Federal spending. There are a lot of reasons for that, but anyone who suggest that these "blue" states are being subsidized by the rest of America has no idea what they're talking about.
This is about State taxes, not Federal. It is not false.
When millionaires and billionaires can deduct what they pay in state taxes from their federal taxes, that leaves citizens in states who have no state taxes left to pay more when the federal taxes are raised by liberals to pay the bill.
Now they must pay their state taxes without writing them off on the federal government, and thus they pay their federal share. More money will pour into the federal coffers with out the left screaming we need to raise federal taxes.
Those living in states with no state tax, will not be looking at the feds raising taxes to cover the shortfall.
Well that’s the idea, get another lefty in and eventually they will want to raise taxes anyway.
Either way, the millionaires and billionaires in California, Texas, Illinois, etc. etc. will now be paying their fare share of both state and federal taxes.

The subject is much more complex if addressed honestly than most articles cover.
I personally could give a rip about what flows back, because it is the liberals in the blue states that want all those programs in the first place.
It’s liberals from those states who push and vote for those social give aways in Congress that puts the whole country in debt. Where and who gets most of it has nothing to do with this argument.
Now the uber wealthy in those states who finance these liberals can pay their share of the national rape of the treasury for their pet projects.
Hell I wish the tax code would tax the uber wealthy who fund candidates to vote for this crap. They should be personally be taxed 99% of their wealth. If they want it so bad, let the feds tax them for funding the socialists who pass legislation for this crap.
Then maybe we won’t always be having new social programs started every 5 years.
Post your studies, I call BS. I bet they don’t include things like welfare, food stamps, schools and other federally funded programs.
“A lot of reasons for that” aside, it’s still a subsidy.
