If you remove military spending in the state they pay way more than they get and until 2003 even with the military spending they paid more than they got. Regardless, Texas sends hundreds of billions to DC every year so it's only fair they suck some of that back from the giant sucking sound inside the beltway. I say more power to em.  And they don't need no stinking state taxes.....it's what makes Texas a perennial economic powerhouse.

Now DC gets about $5 for every dollar they send to the Feds. And they didn't even have a flood.
