There are 8 states that contribute more to the federal purse than they get back from the federal government.
New York
New Jersey
Massachusetts
Connecticut
Colorado
Minnesota
Utah
Nebraska
Two more states are at a dead even split.. and those are California and Washington
Every other state-- receives more from the government than they pay in. 6 of the above 8-- are "DPST Maxist" states. The worst offenders in regards to receiving more than they get? All of them are Red states, with the exception of New Mexico (Mississippi, Kentucky, West Virginia, Montana, South Carolina, Indiana, New Mexico)
Yeah-- you may hate how they govern.. but the fact of the matter is-- they contribute more than they get.
