“...socialist states like NY and CA to fend for themselves instead of leaching off others..”
Believe it or not, NY State sends more money out to the federal government than it receives back in funding.
Amazing but true.
Show me the stats on that.
From a reliable source of course.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then Senator from New York, is the guy who got the Federal Gov’t to start measuring the net contribution to/benefit from the federal treasury. Bill payers and beneficiaries.
Who benefits the most? Puerto Rico, New Mexico, Mississippi and West Virginia (2 to 1 ratio)
Who pays the bill? Delaware and Minnesota (1 to 2).
California was long a bill payer, but has recently slipped to being a net recipient. New York is still a big bill payer.
