Federal Taxing and Spending Benefit Some States, Leave Others Paying Bill

Top 10

State Outlay to Tax Ratio

New Mexico $2.03

Mississippi $2.02

Alaska $1.84

Louisiana $1.78

West Virginia $1.76

North Dakota $1.68

Alabama $1.66

South Dakota $1.53

Kentucky $1.51

Virginia $1.51

To be fair, a lot of that money going to New Mexico supports some National Laboratories, and some nuke storage and maintenance.
