These two articles explore some of the nuances of the relationships between tax and Federal welfare. Red State Blue State is a myth unless you apply lots of tweaking & ignore all elected officials & concentrate on Presidential elections only.

I fight back only because it’s broad brush thinking and is a tool the liberals use “fairness”to obscure the pivotal point of the issue. The crucial point is that we need to swing the pendulum back towards State’s right for as many areas in Government as possible & shrink Federal over reach.

Getting rid of SALT puts the States on an equal playing field and they can best make the decisions they need to get their States finances in order, acting as 50 laboratories to find the best solutions for each State. The power of the purse is the power to control. Who do we want to have control? The Feds taking our money in & doling it out? Or the citizens of each State voting on the basis of fiscal responsibility of the elected officials.

Below is one of the best summations I found on the relationship of tax dollars paid by State & benefits received.
