Yep Jim blue states subsidize red states and their low cost of living taxes and fees. Again facts are not your friend

there’s also historically been a red state subsidy of blue states. blue states have higher state/local taxes. which is a deduction on federal income taxes. meaning, wayne, let’s say you’re in CT and i am in FL and we have identical
financials except for state/local taxes. you pay less federal income tax than i do, only because you live in a blue state.

that subsidy ( red states subsidizing blue states) existed forever. Trump reduced it with the SALT cap. you need to consider that too. but you guys always leave it out.

and leave KY out, people aren’t flocking there.
