I believe the greedy constituents of Paul's state are all gimme gimme gimme when it comes to sucking up more in Federal funds than they pay in taxes. Kentucky is one of the ten most welfare dependent states in the country. Retirement programs, nutritional and anti-poverty aid, farm subsidies. 23.8 billion paid in taxes. 46.61 billion returned to the state. $1.96 for each dollar paid in taxes. gimme gimme gimme Kentucky. gimme gimme gimme

New Jersey is among the bottom ten states who pay more in taxes than they receive in return. $71.53 billion. For each dollar spent, the citizens of NJ receive $.62 in return. So who are the gimme gimme's?

New York paid 222.60 billion. Their citizens get on average $.79 for every tax dollar.
