Need a link/research

[Lithos]

Anyone have a link to the stats which show that Dem states get a smaller percentage back of their tax dollars than Republican states? (Where Dem states subsidize Repuke states).

The Democrats' electability predicament comes into focus when you compare the map of Giver and Taker states with the well-worn electoral map of red (Republican) and blue (Democrat) states. You might expect that in the 2000 presidential election, Republicans, the party of low taxes and limited government, would have carried the Giver states — while Democrats, the party of wild spending and wooly bureaucracy, would have appealed to the Taker states. But it was the reverse. George W. Bush was the candidate of the Taker states. Al Gore was the candidate of the Giver states.

Democrat voters support parasite Republicans with their taxes. I put the numbers in my own spreadsheet for calculations. If you want to check them, I could post comma-delimited text for you to put into your own spreadsheet.

-Year 2000 states voting Gore had a $180,149 million dollar net deficit to the federal government with (12 of 20 states paying more than they get back)

-Year 2000 states voting Bush had a $71,868 million dollar net surplus from the federal government with (22 of 30 states receiving more than they pay)
