What Each State Pays in Federal Taxes per individual

Food for thought!

"Delaware leads the nation in federal tax revenue per person at $24,575 per resident in 2023, followed by Massachusetts at $21,747 and Minnesota at $20,728, according to a new study.

Washington D.C. is a major outlier, contributing $54,612 per resident—more than double any state—due to its concentration of high-income earners and government-related economic activity.

Florida Governor DeSantis blasts McCarthy debt deal as inadequate with too much more spending and debt

U.S. House Democrats Propose 4,350 Earmarks A Year Costing $13 Billion

The Dimocratic Party back in power revives the horrible practice of earmarks thereby undoing important budget reforms!

House Republicans released a statement arguing that earmarks are a pathway to congressional corruption. One member of the caucus, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), argued that earmarks are “little more than legislative bribery.”

The late Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) frequently called earmarks “the gateway drug” to corruption and overspending, and spearheaded the 2011 ban. ..."
