Don’t some states send more in taxes than they receive?

So? What is your point?

Some states have large populations where retirees leave the state and take Social Security and Medicare with them. So?

Some states have huge open areas with significant federal spending on military bases and Interstate highways. So?

The whole purpose of national taxes is to address national needs.

There would be no point to national taxes if exactly the same amount of money from each state went back to that state. It would make more sense not to take the taxes in the first place.

Phrasing the question as taxes coming from and going to a state is an Orwellian way to look at the issue. It is just framing to push sending more money to Democrat states.
