The Consolidated Federal Funds Report released by the US Department of Commerce shows a vast inequity in the Federal Government’s distribution of funds between the states. The following map shows that while 6 states recieve under $6,500 per capita from the federal government, some states recieve well over $9,000 per capita a year. While 30 states recieve more in federal funds than they give, taxpayers from Mississippi, West Virginia, and New Mexico all recieve an average of $3 for every dollar they send to Wasington D.C.. Delaware, on the other hand, recieves a mere 42 cents on the dollar. Read the full report (120-page PDF)
