Hmm. Those state 'contributor/taker' numbers are crap. It doesn't work that way; federal taxes aren't intended to be net neutral for individual states. I don't know what's in the water in some states, but that's a huge load of bovine excrement.
And using the liberals' philosophy: Californians make more money so they
should be paying more in federal taxes than MS and AL. Again, FAIR SHARE (to quote Elizabeth Warren).
