Donor states and Taker states

[IM2]

A donor state is a state that pays more in taxes than it gets back. Conversely a taker state is one that gets more back from the government than it pays in. In short, those are states on welfare.. Politically, the claim has been about how superior all things Republican are. But the reality is actually the reverse.

Which States Take More Than They Give? Unpacking Federal Funding in the U.S.​

The question of which states are “takers” versus “givers” in the U.S. often sparks heated debate. At its core, it revolves around the flow of federal tax dollars—do some states consistently receive more federal funding than their residents contribute in taxes? The answer is nuanced, but generally, yes, some states do receive more than they pay in, and it’s a pattern shaped by various economic and demographic factors.

Based on data from various sources, including analyses of federal spending and tax contributions, states that consistently receive more in federal benefits than they pay in taxes include: New Mexico, West Virginia, Alaska, Mississippi, and Montana. These states often face economic challenges that necessitate higher levels of federal assistance, including larger investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and social programs. These states are frequently characterized by lower income levels, higher unemployment rates, and greater reliance on government programs to support their populations.

Conversely, states considered “donor states,” which consistently contribute more in federal taxes than they receive in federal funding, have historically included states like New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

While they listed 5 states as examples of takers, they listed four as donors. They left off one-California. So the red state representatives that rip New York and California benefit from the tax money those two states send to Washington.

Fine, have the Feds give all that Federal land in most of the "Taker" States back to said States.

Problem solved.

Or lessen the size of the federal government so all people have to pay less to the feds.

Thanks for the ideas!

States pay taxes? Are you sure?

The leftist love taking Americans money and giving it to other people except in this instance. I wonder why?

 

[Harry Dresden]

and yet Californias quality of life for many in the state has fallen considerably....

 

[Oddball]

Good fucking grief, not this stale debunked chestnut again!

 

[IM2]

The leftist love taking Americans money and giving it to other people except in this instance. I wonder why?

It is the right that takes Americans money and gives it to the richest.

 

[deannalw]

Some states may not need the feds as much because they're so successful at scrounging around in their citizens pockets.

 

[Eman623]

All states are taker states. We have yearly $2 trillion dollar deficits. That money is not all going to red states

 

[Crepitus]

Problem solved.

Not even close. Most of that land is being leased or utilized in some way already, see the Bundy ranch for instance.

Don't split hairs on the terms, you know what is meant by the post.

Are you kidding? That's where they give most of the money.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Wrong again. Are you ever correct.....on anything?

Wrong.

 

[martybegan]

Then let the States get that revenue.

 

[IM2]

Wrong. Most of the money is going to red states and it is money the blue states send. So all states aren't takers. We have deficits because revenues get cut by way of huge tax cuts for the rich.

 

[IM2]

Wrong again. Are you ever correct.....on anything?

I am correct about what I said.

 

[22lcidw]

Go down to the counties, towns and cities in each state that receives the money. Then we will see the blue and the red more clearly. The state governments also are on the hook for the payouts to counties, cities and towns also. California no matter its richness is supposed to be a real pariah with federal money. They have a lot of illegals as an example and a lot of money goes to payouts. Southern cities were built up on purpose to become Progressive Socialist Communist as Atlanta was. Now Georgia is purple with corrupted moron Prog politicians. If the old redneck politicians were rejected, the replacements are the same or worse. Let us get where the resources go. And also, all of those agendas have plenty of Progs working at the top echelon thinning the crums the people get. US AID gets 12% of its budget to its intended agenda. And many other programs that Progs control are the same. This is a reason you are crying.

 

[Eman623]

Wrong. Most of the money is going to red states and it is money the blue states send.

i don't think you understand what deficit spending is. Its borrowed money and is not "sent" by any state.

So all states aren't takers. We have deficits because revenues get cut by way of huge tax cuts for the rich.

What states do the rich live in? Hint: they are taker states.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Don't split hairs on the terms, you know what is meant by the post.

It means the OP is a moron.

If he wants to say that the citizens of blue states pay more tax to the
federal government than the citizens of blue states receive from the
federal government, he should say that.

If he wants to say that the citizens of red states pay less tax to the
federal government than the citizens of red states receive from the
federal government, he should say that.

And then we can discuss why that is the case, if it should be "fixed" and how.

But he's stupid, so he can't do any of those things.
