Aren't most major corporate headquarters located in blue states? If corporate taxes are part of the total collected then the blue/red mapping is worthless.
Toyota USA for instance is headquartered in California. When they pay federal taxes does that revenue show up as California's contribution?
Apple pays billions per year they also are based in California. Does their billions get counted as tax revenue from California?
IBM in New York? Etc …….
If what each state pays also includes corporate revenues, and I think it does, this entire argument is foolish.
