Well this is might interesting. Maryland only gets about 83 cents back for every dollar given. Texas gets 91 cents for every dollar it gives. Of course South Carolina is horrid….they receive 2.39 cents for every dollar given. Why is South Carolina one of the worst states?
That number does not include the money ‘given’ by the government sector.
Single largest source of income for Maryland? Government. Please note the non-government sectors and how they’re mostly declining. http://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.md.htm
