Moochers? Blue States Subsidize Red States [View all]

Again, I must reply to my ill informed right wing Republican friends to not let their facts get in the way of a good argument.

As it turns out, the top ten states that send more money to Washington than they receive are among the most reliably blue states in America. In contrast, of the 10 most dependent states in America, 8 are Red.

Digging deeper into the numbers, blue counties overwhelmingly subsidize red counties.

Here is a September 18, 2012 article on the subject. (Ironically enough, that date was my 60th birthday).
