Guess Which States Suck Up Most Of Your Tax Dollars...
If you guessed the "Blue" states with their welfare queens, immigrants, and downright un-American way of life, you guessed WRONG!
It seems that the "Red" states with their "keep the government's hand out of my pocket" and "pick your sorry ass up by your bootstraps" mentalities are actually the states that suck up our tax dollars the most.
That's not very enterprising of them...

1. D.C. ($6.17)

4. Mississippi ($1.84)
5. Alaska ($1.82)
6. West Virginia ($1.74)
7. Montana ($1.64)
8. Alabama ($1.61)
9. South Dakota ($1.59)
10. Arkansas ($1.53)
