that red areas (counties/states) somehow pay more in taxes than blue areas. Almost never true. But Repubs and Fox news propagandize that "your taxes are too high, and it the liberals' fault" and they buy it hook line and sinker.

Maintaining I5 through Lewis county probably costs King County more than it does the locals.
