The claim:; Blue states pay for red states; THE TRUTH; RED STATES RECEIVE 35.75% ON AVERAGE OF THEIR BUDGETS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. BLUE STATES RECEIVE 30.80%. BLUE STATES GET A LOWER PERCENTAGE BECAUSE THEIR TOTAL BUDGETS ARE FAR LARGER DUE TO ALL THE BLOAT AND WASTE OF TAX DOLLARS. THE 10 STATES IN THE BEST FISCAL CONDITION ARE MOSTLY RED; THE TEN STATES IN THE WORST FISCAL CONDITION ARE BLUE; THE SIX STATES WITH THE WORST INFRASTRUCTURE ARE ALL HIGH TAX BLUE STATES; STATES DON’T PAY TAXES, PEOPLE DO. WORKING PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES THEY OWN; OF STATES THAT RECEIVE WELFARE, IT GOES PREDOMINANTLY TO TO THOSE THAT VOTE DEMOCRAT; BLUE STATES RECEIVED MORE BAILOUT MONEY THAN RED STATES; ON A PER CAPITA BASIS BLUE STATES RECEIVE $2,124 PER RESIDENT; RED STATES RECEIVE $1,879; IT IS HYPOCRITICAL TO DECRY THE TAX CODE FOR TAXING HIGH-INCOME STATES MORE THAN LOW INCOME STATES WHILE INTENTIONALLY DESIGNING TAX POLICIES WITH THAT EFFECT. “TAX THE RICH”
