States Least Dependent on Federal Government
The state I live in is #47. If you live in states 1-46, you're taking MY STATE's tax dollars. I live in a High GDP, Low Federal Government Spending state. That means I'm being taxed FOR YOU.
Your apology is expected.
You live in FloriDUH!! Your state is #25. That means the state I live in is paying for your state’s mooching at the federal trough! You tax pig!
The amount a state “gets back” or “overpays” isn’t the detail to use in an analysis of effects os SALT deductions.
A state could have more high earners, more income to tax, or fewer expenses etc. An aggregate state number means something but it doesn’t mean high SALT deductions are free to everyone. They’re not.
If a taxpayer uses deductions, less tax is paid. Hence the aggregate unpaid tax Is paid elsewhere by others. That is trivially obvious.
