Both Wyoming and California send more money to Washington than they get back, per dollar.

Both at around 80 cents on the dollar.

Along with NY and CA, Wyoming helps subsidize 36 other states in the union. Even rich, populous states like Texas and Florida receive far more back:

Thy are getting a free ride now, and it will get better for them under this new plan.

On another note, if you were itemizing in Wyoming you would be able to deduct that 5.5% average sales tax there on all your retail purchases, along with the excise taxes on your car, boat or truck. Also the cost of any state licensing if in a licensed private enterprise.

Plus all property taxes, school bonds taxes etc.

But no more if this plan stays intact.

Sending money to DC expecting to get even 80% of it back is a fool’s errand. The is heavy Bureaucratic Drag there.

Sending money to DC to do its Constitutionally limited tasks should have NO expectation of getting any of it back.

You have switched from being narcissisticly worried about your own tax situation to the aggregate for your State. What ever happens to the aggregate for your State can have a VERY limited impact on your personal budget/situation, unless you are a US Government Employee. So, what it it?
