I just looked that up. Since 2000:
Strongly Democrat States: 12.2 TRILLION dollars in federal money
Mostly Democrat States: 579 Billion dollars in federal money
50/50: 4.78 Trillion dollars in federal money
Mostly GOP States: 5.8 Trillion dollars in federal money
Strong GOP States: 5.6 Trillion dollars in federal money
Looks to me like you are spreading a false "fact" that isn't anywhere close to the truth. Stop watching MSNBC all the time.
Also realize that the amount of money that any state gets has not a goddamn thing to do with whether they are "Republican" or "Democrat". It is all tied in to how much money a particular state's crooked politicians in Congress can funnel back to their cronies at home.
