Funny how DUpipo do not realize that Federal dollars going into a state don't do the same thing. Some $$ go to welfare programs. Some go into ag subsidies that keep food prices low. Some go to universities for various research projects. Some go into defense installations of various purposes.
Speaking of the latter, consider the effects of Bill Clinton's base closings in California:
* Mather AFB in Sacramento;
* McClellan AFB in Sacramento;
* Alameda NAS in Alameda-Oakland;
* Moffett NAS in Mountain View;
* Mare Island near Vallejo;
* Fort Ord near Monterey;
* MCAS El Toro in Orange County.
Just off the top of my head. But DU-Moron onecaliberal is just virtue-signalling for DUmp Cred. Whether California pays more in taxes than the Federal dollars it receives has absolutely zero effect on his life (unless his community was hurt by one of Clinton's base closings, as Vallejo was by Mare Island being closed).
Then there's tax $$ California supposedly pays. Apple Computer, for example, sell its phone products and computer products all over the world. But because Apple is based in California, the sites DU-Moron onecaliberal uses count the taxes on that worldwide revenue as coming from California. Cisco, Oracle, Amazon, EBay, etc..
Then there's companies like L3 Communications, which is HQed in NY, but has divisions all over the US (L3 basically was created by buying divisions of other companies). Are the revenues of the various divisions counted as taxes from NY or from the various states? Somehow, I suspect that the taxes paid on revenues from L3 divisions in UT and PA are counted by those sites as from NY (which is a supposed "net contributor"). Speaking of companies with divisions in multiple states, Curtis Instruments is based in NY, but has a major division in CA. To which state do these sites attribute taxes paid by Curtis? Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, General Dynamics .....
IOW, the websites DU-Moron onecaliberal obsesses over - by his choice, not because any actual effects in his life - are fodder for political BS, and very possibly designed to be such.
