Well they certainly lost the subsidy from other states to pick up their state tax burden.

Huh? Now they're subsidizing other states even more.

See the list of states in Post #97. These are ranked on a per-capita basis according to the net balance of Federal taxes paid vs. Federal dollars spent in each state. The higher a state is on the list, the more it gets from the Federal government in spending compared to the Federal taxes paid by your citizens.

According to that source, every state ranked from #1 through #37 actually pays less in Federal taxes than it receives in Federal expenditures. So 13 states, in effect, are subsidizing the other 37 -- and 9 of those 13 are high-tax "blue" states.
