Thats great, so which is it then, total dollars or return on federal dollars?
If i put in 1k in federal taxes and get 800 back, what matter is it what state i'm in? Or are we saying Delaware residents getting 70 cents on the dollar is not as bad as Californians getting 95 cents because there are more people, thus Californians are more important?
I'm honestly not trying to be a dick here but what exactly is the argument outside of if you aren't California or New York, you're not important to the conversation.
Give me numbers not supposition, how much has California invested in federal dollars versus the other 14 states getting less than their input. Without that this amounts to a pointless discussion.
I don't have numbers but his point is that a per-dollar amount doesn't show how much a state is contributing at all.

Californians aren't more important individually, but California is. Obviously a million people with $5 each is a larger sum than twenty people with $10 each.
