That's total bullshit and it's been debunked here many times.

The state I live in sends forty BILLION more to the FedGov every year than it gets back. That means the state I live in is subsidizing YOU. Now if you paid YOUR "fair share" (using your logic) my state would get that forty billion a year back now wouldn't it?

Your state does NOT send $40 billion more to Washington than it gets back. The TAXPAYERS of your state do ... and if yours is a blue state like mine with enormous state and local taxes then it's likely that most people in your state pay hardly any Federal income taxes at all.

The liberal politicians and media in my state have been railing against this tax bill for weeks, complaining that we're "subsidizing" other states. But we've been doing that for decades, and these same A-holes have been supporting every massive Federal spending bill that sends all our money to Washington.
