You are confused Moon Bat.States Most Dependent on the Federal Government – 2022 Edition
Key Findings
- Red states dominate the top 10. Eight of the 10 states most dependent on the federal government traditionally vote Republican. New Mexico (No. 2) is the only state in the top 10 to vote for the Democratic candidate in any of the last six presidential elections. Maine (No. 8), which splits its delegates, has voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the recent elections.
- On average, federal funding makes up about 39% of state revenues. However, this figure varies by a margin of more than 29 percentage points. The federal share of state government revenue is highest in Wyoming, at 56.43%, and lowest in Hawaii, at 27.13%.
- Connecticut ranks as the state least reliant on the federal government. Less than 32% of the revenue collected by the Connecticut state government comes from the federal government. That’s the eighth-smallest percentage across all 50 states. Connecticut also has the third-lowest percentage of workers employed by the federal government (1.47%) and fourth-lowest ratio of federal funding to income taxes paid (0.38).

There is no such thing as Red States and Blue States. That is something USA Today made up.
It is America and the Democrat controlled big city shitholes like New Orleans in Louisiana.
Those welfare ghettos in the "Red States" are where all that federal money goes.
Plus a lot of that Federal money goes to military bases in those states.
