The states in blue which are primarily blue states pay in more federal taxes than they receive and are called the donor states.
The states that take more from the federal kitty than they pay in taxes are the recipient states and most of them are Red States.
Why does this happen? A lot is due to the low wage conservative culture in the south and the lack of unions. In addition, the federal government heavily subsidizes the energy industry in Texas and elsewhere and most military bases are in the south that add billions to the local payrolls.
But who whines about taxes the most. The folks in the Red states who have a lighter tax burden.
