The Tax Foundation is all about taxes. They collect data, make charts, and keep their eyes on what comes in and what goes out. One of their charts is quite revealing as it shows how much Federal money is returned for every dollar sent to Washington.
As you would expect, the District of Columbia gets $5.55 back for every $1 it sends. Government is not cheap. But of the 32 States which receive more than they contribute, 27 are Republican, and of the 18 States who send more than they receive, 14 are Democrat.
These statistics were published in 2005 and were collected around the time of the 2004 Presidential election.

Why is this not a surprise? I have never heard anyone deny that “Republican” and “Hypocrite” were not synonymous.
As I also pointed out elsewhere, very few Americans, especially Republicans and the religious reich (almost the same thing) really know what is socialism and that it is far from being the same as communism.
