An Associated Press Fact Check finds it’s actually the other way around. High-tax, traditionally Democratic states (blue), subsidize low-tax, traditionally Republican states (red) — in a big way. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/ap-fact-check-blue-high-tax-states-fund-red-low-tax-states/
They compare California,New Jersey, and Massachusettes to Kentucky,West Virginia,South Carolina.
Some of the highest cost of living areas to the lowest,of course they have more tax income,they get paid 3 times as much. Yet, the red States in the "study" pay about 60% of what the blue states paid.
So 1/3 to 1/2 of the income and pay 60%,that means they pay more in taxes per dollar earned.
You can buy a 1400 sq ft house on multiple acres for $45,000 in West Virginia,what would that cost in a blue state?
Do you even read the "studies"(conducted by a liberal new York based news outlet)? Rhetorical question btw.
