If the Blue States are paying more in taxes than they are getting back, and the Red States are getting back more than they pay, the argument that the Blue States are smarter than the Red States is somewhat negated isn't it?

It appears to me the Dems are pissed about the results of their own Robin-Hood domestic economic policies. Not to mention, farm subsidies and tornado/flood/disaster relief plays into the equation a lot. Not a lot of that going on in ME and MA, I bet.

As far as red vs. blue states goes, I would be interested to see crime rate statistics, charitable contribution statistics, etc. relative to red vs. blue.
