Here again, this does not support your statement that blue states get less in federal funds per federal tax dollar paid. A percentage of populations says noting about the absolute number. For example I would guess there are 100 times as many people in California then in Wyoming. So 20% of Wyoming’s population 0.2% of California’s.

1. Are you going to suggest that those "red" states on that list pay more Federal taxes per capita than, say, California or New York? LOL.

2. A comparison based on raw numbers is pointless. That's why all of these reports are based on per-capita spending, taxes, etc. Otherwise, California would rank #1 in the U.S. by every measure -- positive AND negative. Most food stamp recipients, most taxpayers, most criminals, most police officers, most white people, most minorities, etc.

I'll post some other links tomorrow when I'm back at my desk.
