Does that mean we live in a more desirable place than those smelly poor red states. Look at them. All red and smelly and poor. Park my car, ohio.

Well they're in the bottom half of states in federal budget dependence and get a negative return on their tax dollars, so no

What I suspected actually came true too.

Texas gets $.88 back from the Federal Government when they pay $1
Calfornia only gets $.77 and Washington State gets only $.75

I suspected this because the older populations in Florida and Texas as well their dependency on Federal Government money.

I'm not arguing on texas and Florida's behalf in a very marginal pissing contest against California and washington st.

You said you suspect they take out more than they pay in which isn't true. And it's not true for ohio or georgia either so that map the tc didn't even leave a source link for is reeking of bullshit

Not really. You and other posters have just automatically jumped to the same old tired red team vs blue team discussion that literally anything on this board always devolves into.

The point is, so-called blue states fund so-called red states....yet the red states pretend they don't like the government....and actually shit on the states that fund them.

Ummm the point is actually the exact opposite. Its blue states funding red ones bud. Outside of Florida and Texas (arguably purple nowadays), almost every red state is Republican ran here.

It's not a perfect state, but it is a good state.

Do blue states really have lower quality of life, higher crime, and worse weather? And are their rates of poverty higher and education lower? Or are you just guessing?

Cali should be yellow, they've been right at the cusp for a while.

Then again this is from pre-2020 so I got no clue after that

You also need to factor in that Washington doesn't need to take in money to send money out
