California pays the most gross federal taxes. It was 9th in per capita taxes. It receives far, far less compared to what it pays than any of the other major states you're talking about, such as Texas and Florida, not to mention the stroke belt. That's what disproportionately means.
California pays far more than it receives, and this gap is wider than other states

This is not complicated, but you are sitting on Aussen's trigger button. So get ready for the shenanigans, and be kind, as we say in the land of the dead, for the amount of cognitive dissonance conservatives have to deal with is pretty big. They are closet royalists trying to talk about "fairness in taxation" in one of the world's oldest thriving democracies, with many dependent states cuz that's how we roll. That the dependent states are deep red only causes more pain.
Every conservative here has some point at which they flat out got gulled by the Republican Party and its 50-year-old talking points. Unless they be rich. Then they didn't get gulled at all.
Trickle it baby.
