Blue States Are Bailing Out Red States

Interesting stuff, I was always told that the more liberal states were taking more than their fair share.

I guess the people in these states(Mississippi, West Virginia, Kentucky and Alabama), which take in the most federal dollars compared to they is who Musk is calling the parasite class.  The poor, the disabled, the elderly, the mentally ill are subhuman to him because they require government services to survive.
 

From 2018 to 2022, individuals and organizations from blue states contributed nearly 60% of all federal tax receipts but only received 53% of all federal contributions to states in the form of either direct payments, grants, contracts, or wages. Meanwhile, red states were only responsible for 40% of federal tax receipts but received 47% of all federal contributions to states. A 7% differential that in effect equates to a more than $1 trillion transfer payment from blue states to red states, amounting to $4,300 per capita, compared to the instance where their respective fair shares were paid.

Finally, blue states did receive more in COVID-19 relief funds, but red states have disproportionately benefited from Biden’s signature legislation—IRA, CHIPS, IIJA—by as much as fivefold.
