Texas contributes far more to the federal budget than it gets returned.

Well, no. TX (2005 stats but unlikely to have changed dramatically) receives $.94 for every dollar it sends to the feds. Which is just about exactly in the middle of the pack.

NM gets the most return for its tax dollars at $2.03, and NJ gets the least return at $.61.
