Imagine that! The states that support the theocratic coup are easier to live in. Of course, those ignorant hillbillies are the ones that send in tax free donations to the book worshiping traitors that are trying to destroy our constitution, economy, world standing, not to mention murdering the muslin book worshipers.

1. First the data is very deceptive. It excludes many types of taxes but more importantly fees. Highter per ccapita states will fund services through a progressive style of taxation, where as, lower per capita states will fund services through fees.
2) Per Capita is just that, it treats the minimum wage worker the same as the wealthy capitalist. Many of the low capita states have little or no corporate taxes, often no income taxes, but over relies on sales taxes and fees.
3) We also need to remember many of the low capita states receive a greater portion of the federal pie. In this sense the higher capita states are in fact subsidizing (and I would add enabling) the low capita states
