Apparently you are not smart enough to find a source that backs up your claim.
The comment is NOT an uniformed Liberal talking point.
It's a fact, something that right wingers seem to be allergic to.
Red states, on average, rank significantly higher than blue states when it comes to freeloading off other states. But why are blue states significantly less dependent on federal largess? Because blue states contribute far more to the U.S. economy than red states. On balance, their workers are more skilled and better educated.
Blue states pay more than their fair share. Here are the receipts.
Like most liberals, you expose the ignorance of your position with such meaningless pap.
What in the world makes you think that the red states would wish to continue voting for and funding the kind of wasteful **** you socialist idiots overwhelmingly support?
You think red state governments would continue allowing illegals to flood their states and continue paying for their housing, education, free smartphones, free healthcare, and free transportation while putting them up in expensive hotels? You think we'd continue wasting hundreds of billions of our tax dollars by giving them to Ukraine or other corrupt countries? Think we'd continue offering free abortions to everyone for any reason whatsoever? Think we'd be paying hundreds of billions to big pharma for vaccines that don't work and forcing our citizens to take them? Do you really think we'd desire to maintain useless federal departments like Education, Energy, and hundreds of others, while keeping those thousands of "deep state" workers who now have had their crimes exposed in the FBI, the CIA, the DoD, and others that have become nothing but political arms of corrupt Democrats? Think we'd be wasting trillions on the hoax of "global warming" that you brainless buffoons believe in, or do you think those red states would prefer to use OUR OWN ENERGY SOURCES that would give us tens of thousands of good jobs while drastically reducing the cost of gas and heating oil for our citizens while you nitwits in the blue states continue buying oil from countries that hate us? Think we'd go along with the stupidity of "green energy" and try to force everyone to buy EVs that are inefficient and do nothing to help the global climate? Think we'd go along with such idiocy as the Paris Climate Accord, or choose to spend billions on the America-hating UN or continue funding the vast majority of funding for NATO?
Here's an idea. Take a look at the Index of Government Departments at
https://www.usa.gov/federal-agencies/ and try to guess how much of this useless bureaucracy could easily be completely cut out of our budget and we'd never notice it! The hundreds of billions saved would reduce taxes so drastically that the Federation of Red States wouldn't HAVE to return more to those states than they pay in. Libs like you think every one of those government agencies are needed, and funding their increased spending every year is imperative. And think how many MORE of them you could even add to your socialist desires if you didn't have the red states opposing it!
