Gee whiz, zanyzit, do you even bother to read your own sources? Even the author in your Slate article admits he doesn't understand the data:
"I’ll be the first to admit this isn’t a black-and-white exercise. Plenty of questions need to be settled before clear judgments can be made. For instance, does an Army base and the federal money that goes into keeping it running and paying its troops count as a benefit? ... What about a federal prison? ... A private university that is showered with federal research dollars? ... Agricultural subsidies? ... And what about defense contractors? ... All these accounting issues are over my head, I’ll freely admit."
And did you notice how "retirement programs" are a big component of the federal dollars flowing into southern states? All that proves is a lot of Yankees prefer to retire and collect Social Security in places like Florida. Not because they're welfare queens, you moron. Because they like the weather.
