Maine way up there at 36%. I guess the lobster business is failing.

I see you, North Dakota.

Mississippi holding it down like always

The difference between #1 and #25 is 8 percent. That's not a lot.
Oh and racist

As a percentage of general state revenue.. Makes since it would be states that are predominately agriculture.

That's a weird graph. That South Dakota and Montana are so high and North Dakota and Kansas are so low makes me think that there is something going on with the numbers that is not obvious to a first glance. Ditto the difference between Washington and Oregon and Georgia and South Carolina.

So poor Southern states with a large population of minorities require more Fed funding? Shocker!
Posted on 5/21/17 at 12:53 pm to cajunangelle
This graph has to be wrong. How can arizona be number 11, but nevada number 47, despite the states being nearly identical in almost every factor?
How can montana be a mooch but north dakota not be?

I have a question about Texas... are they counting border security as part of receiving federal dollars?
Because the border is the federal government's job.

So that includes the tax money on oil removed from Louisiana?
Posted on 5/21/17 at 1:12 pm to cajunangelle
Yeah and we all know where that money is going.

Old folks tend to move south and have limited earning ability.

Those red states.....

Connecticut is the true #1 mooch. Completely dependent on corporate welfare. Plenty of insurance companies (individual mandate) and Wall Street and megabank fat cats.

they got those calculations by dividing the intergovernmental revenue (which includes Medicaid, but excludes Medicare & Social Security) by the
general revenue with includes all tax revenue except taxes on utilities and liquor
If you would include the taxes people in Louisiana spend on running their A/C and drinking I wonder how far they fall?

Virginia's number is skewed. The entire east coast of the state is funded by the Fed through salaries. Look up the number of GS/Contractors incomes that reside in the state. Then the state taxes the hell out of it's citizenry.

Maybe about the 1st 400 times I've seen these insipid

I would bet you the vast majority of counties that recleve federal in these states vote blue.
