Additionally, the CA taxpayer sends more money to DC than comes back from DC in Federal expenditures of any and every kind. The same can be said of New York and New Jersey.

The same can be said for all states. All states send more in than they receive back. How else could the Federal Government pay for the military, congress and all other federal programs. If the blue states vote for "stuff" that causes them to pay more state taxes why should states like Texas that live within there means have to subsidize them?

Texas gets back $1.50 for every dollar they sent to DC and is being subsidized by CA, NY and NJ.

Edify yourself.
