Federal Funding by state per dollar of federal taxes in 04

The Tax Foundation – Educating Taxpayers Since 1937

A most interesting data set…. http://www.taxfoundation.org/files/ftsbs-20060316.pdf

Federal Spending in each state per dollar of federal taxes in 2004. I then took the data and overlayed it on a map of the US, with red being states that had the highest federal funding per federal tax dollar and blue being the least, and green being states in the middle.

Federal Funding per dollar of federal taxes by state in 2004

 

Its not quite the federal funding flow graph I blogged about but it is interesting for sure. I still think it fascinating data to look at, especially in light of the legislators from states recieving the greatest amount of federal funds per taxes paid and the proposed auto bailout.

  4. I got your point, but I don't you think they should distribute it equally?
