EOM Happily, the Tax Foundation — a conservative Washington-based think tank — has, however unintentionally, provided the answer. In 2007, the foundation published a survey of 2005 federal spending in each state and compared that with each state’s contribution in federal taxes. In other words, the foundation identified the states that sponge off the federal government and those that subsidize it. The welfare-queen states and the responsible, producing states, as it were.
The list, alas, hasn’t been updated — in part, no doubt, because conservatives didn’t like what it revealed: that those states that got more back from our government than they paid in were overwhelmingly Republican.
The 10 biggest net recipients of taxpayers’ largess were, in order, New Mexico, Mississippi, Alaska, Louisiana, West Virginia, North Dakota, Alabama, South Dakota, Kentucky and Virginia. The 10 states that paid in the most and got back the least were New Jersey, Nevada, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Illinois, Delaware, California, New York and Colorado.

The authors answer to budget cuts? Stop sending those states the money.
Life must be rough when a ninth grade drop out noticed the flagrant fallacies in your biased assumptions .
Reading your lead in was enough to tell me your link must be a waste of time , so I didn't waste mine .
Don't worry I'm not singling you out , we all have weaknesses ,
I have difficulties with Math . 
There are no Red State Blue State divisions in this country .
It is part of the brain washing by BOTH sides of the media , miserable bloggers , and people who never learned how or desire to get along .
Below is a link to an interactive map showing the percentage of voters for President Obama and Governor Romney.
Treating this like Olympic judging and my special rules ,I will throw out the top High percentage State from both the winner and loser, and States not on the mainland are sunk .
66.92 % in Vermont for winner President Obama and 33.80 % for the loser .
Note to slow Floridians , not all of you : Vermont is one of the dark red states in the top right corner , that would be NNE from Florida if you sail back and forth from your Cayman Estate . If you sail by auto pilot ask your Captain which direction you are heading , like you usually do .
On the losing side , Utah 72.69% for Governor Romney {go figure} and President Obama 24.91 %
If you think you are ready for tenth grade , lets study together , help me out with a link showing the breakdown of political demographics among welfare recipients in your so called Red States . I have no need to see racial numbers , I know millions more more Whites are lazy and on the dole , generally speaking Hispanics and Asians work the longest hours and the hardest , with Pacific Asians most intelligent by far, or maybe they grew up more structured and study more diligently , while watching less TV than white man .
In the map below the red and blue media colors are reversed , who knows why , maybe to test our attention , or perhaps the state color coordinator is also a clothing designer .
If you keep that tie long enough it's bound to eventually be the new vogue .
Move your mouse to any State and read the percentages . Look how many States were close to 50 /50 , though Obama clearly beat the loser by millions .
I will patiently wait for your link with my request without holding my breath .
I will tell you my opinion before you supply the link .
There are close to an equal amount of Democrat and Republican, lazy , unproductive workers and an equal amount on the Dole , no reference to color , creed , or sex .
All I see are different shades of purple States .
