California gets 0.78 per dollar paid in taxes back from the Federal government, and Illinois gets 0.75 per dollar.

Who gets the most? New Mexico 2.03, Mississippi 2.02, Alaska 1.84, and 29 other states get more federal tax dollars given to them than what they pay into the US coffers.

Besides... looking at your state tax burden chart, Illinois has that same shade of red representing it's state tax burden. Imagine how that might look if there wasn't a great big sucking sound of federal tax dollars going across our borders.

We're both in the same sinking boat my friend.
