1. Are you going to suggest that those "red" states on that list pay more Federal taxes per capita than, say, California or New York? LOL.

2. A comparison based on raw numbers is pointless. That's why all of these reports are based on per-capita spending, taxes, etc. Otherwise, California would rank #1 in the U.S. by every measure -- positive AND negative. Most food stamp recipients, most taxpayers, most criminals, most police officers, most white people, most minorities, etc.

I'll post some other links tomorrow when I'm back at my desk.

Complete BS on your part. Post the verifiable bases for your assertion that federal tax payers in blue states receive a smaller percentage of their federal taxes back. Otherwise you are just blowing smoke. My personal belief is that liberal cities would die in less then 3 days without the federal government paying the lions share of their food, utilities, housing, education, law enforcement and Iphone bills. But I don't make that assertion because I don't have the facts to back it up.
