According to fed. stats. doc. that I'm looking at, it seems like the maj. of the states listed above that have budget surplus' get more back in federal aid than they send to Washington. It also seems that states that consistantly vote liberal all give more to Washington then they get back. Is this the transfer of wealth we have all heard about? I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the amount of aid to their citizens in need? If so, it comes down to how the citizens of the state think they should be treating their citizens who are less fortunate than themselves.
I prev. found a doc. and attached it in another thread but it is from 2004 and couldn't find anything newer. It is called per capita tax burden and return of federal dollar. Maybe someone has the most recent ones. For some reason I can attach it b/c it said I attached it previously.
I'll still take living in Conn. over Ky. any day.
