interesting to compare state income statistics to some of these figures. of course MA or NJ pays significantly more in taxes per capita than MS, but tax revenue is clearly distributed to poorer states….except VA, MD, and DC…hmmm

How odd, farmers earn less (and therefore pay less in taxes) than Hollywood stars and Wall Street bankers…

Tell ya what – go on ahead and stop taking all that money from those folks, and along with it, stop sending all those tax dollars out to fly-over country.
Oh, and those mandates the Red states like to hand out?
You can keep those, too.

Solution: drastically reduce federal taxes.

The more liberal states like NJ, NY, and CA will keep more of their money.

The more conservative states like SD, LA, and AK won’t have to deal with the federal government threatening them to change their state laws by holding federal tax allotments over their heads.

Win/Win!
