Kentucky receives 148 billion more fed money than they put in.
New York puts in $116 billion more than they receive.
Yet Mitch McConnell of Kentucky wants no more federal aide for New York.
Andrew Cuomo (April 23, 2020): Let’s talk about fairness, Mitch. NYS puts $116 billion more into the federal pot than we take out. Kentucky TAKES $148 billion more from the federal pot than they put in. But we don't deserve help now because the 15,000 people who died here were predominately democrats?
bullshit, ***** can kiss my ass.
It's not BS. It's plain, unadulterated true fact.
Here's a list of the states in oder of the most dependent on federal tax collars. The most dependent being listed number 1 and on down to the least dependent being number 50.
Kentucky comes in number 5 on that list.
California comes in number 39.
New York comes in 25.
My blue state comes in number 41.
It's interesting that 9 of the top 10 most dependent states are red. With one being purple. There isn't a blue state in the top 10 most dependent.
In the top 10 states least dependent on federal tax dollars 8 are blue, 2 are red.
All intelligent people have known for decades it's us blue states who take the least tax dollars and the red ones who take the most. We blue states are the contributors. The red states are the takers.
