Comparative Federal Tax Contribution by State

[firstdown]

I think that Federal Taxes paid is based on income so that explains some of your findings. FL has a large population of retired people who don't pay much in taxes and most of their income (beside SS) comes from money they have already paid taxes on.

I must ask. You think its fair that the richest 10% pay most of the federal taxes while the bottom 40% pay little to no fed taxes. Then you say its not fair that some states pay more then their share while others pay very little.
