There are only 11 states that pay more in to the federal coffers than they take out of it. On "balance of payments" California is the #1 net payor state and #2 on a per-capita basis.
I saw a comment from someone in Florida whose argument (comments on a post arguing) was "well where I live, my governor calls all the shots!"
I don't argue online on random sites like Twatter, IG, etc. because 90% of the people are uneducated boot lickers but I do read comments and shake my head a lot.
