My, my the Republicans do get awfully bitter when losing. Sad to see it slipping away, isn't it. The Supreme Court can't even help you this time. Maybe you should resort to terrorism, you've tried every other lowdown trick. Oh and by the way, you get one thing much worse than all the drug addicts, murderers, gangs, and assorted demons that you can name - Sarah Palin.

as far as resorting to terrorism, don't egg them on... one could argue they've been doing it for years.

The last column in the chart shows revenue per capita. Look at that and you will see that the BLUE states still head up the list.
Yea, you are right. I think the key chart is the one by the tax foundation.
It's interesting, I wrote my dissertation on something similar. These numbers change over time. My concept was that a BLUE (Red) federal govt increases intergovernmental transfers to BLUE (Red) states when they are in power. It was proven an accurate assessment. This kinda says the same thing. Bush was the President, Repubs had control of House and Senate in 2005 (I think?), there's a slight bias to states that are red. It should also be noted that far more states are red than blue on average... so uit's tough to compare.
The thing is, to draw a real conclusion one would need to account for certain other elements. For instance, number of military bases in a state. States with a large amount of military bases receive more funding by the federal govt on average. That's most likely why New Mexico is #1 for instance.
Also, one would need to account for the number of congressmen relative to population. That's most likely why you see a bias to red states. When you have more of a share of a voice, it's easier to get money.
Lastly, I do not believe the tax foundation adjusted for population, which completely skews these results.
Here I have reorganized the list by revenue per capita.

Delaware is most likely #1 because of their tax system. They have no sales tax. So, taxes in other areas are higher. Tax systems in the state most likely make a difference.
States like New Mexico and West Virginia are low because of their large concentration of military bases/employees.
As you can see, it's tough to draw a real conclusion from this type of data unless one really thinks about how to properly account for state by state variation.

That said, they are very very interesting.
Obviously these numbers, from both charts, are not precise indicators. There are a lot of variables that have to taken into consideration. I was just trying to point out that the RED states would not be able to function as they currently do without the BLUE states and the same holds true the other way around.

Absolutely. Like you said, they would not be able to function as they currently do. Anyway, it's interesting stuff.

It definitely is interesting statistics to look at. I would love to see the same break down but from a few decades ago before a huge portion of our manufacturing jobs went over seas.

I just copied and pasted a funny email...not too sure how much I even agree with it.
and this was just the response to that...and it was funny, some of it...but I think people are taking these a bit too seriously.
Yes, people are taking this way too seriously. As the OP, I was just having some fun. I didn't even write it, just copied and pasted it. Yes, I guess I should have linked to it, but oh well...it's all just for fun. I assumed that would come across with the smiley face.

No! Shut up! My state has a bigger dick than your state!
EDIT: Alright, it's just because my state has more dicks. If we measured length per capita...
I live in a blue city (Carbondale) in a red county (Jackson) in a blue state (Illinois). I'm confused.
