The feds spend slightly more per capita in poor states, presumably bc of means-tested programs like Medicaid and food stamps (and the Medicaid formula also means the feds pay a higher proportion in poor states) 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

It's actually pretty simple. Take a cross-section of states, excluding DC, VA, MD bc of federal government and AK bc it's weird. Look at federal outlays and receipts per capita versus income per capita 2/ https://t.co/KBCCJ153Mn — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, this means that poor states receive much more federal money as a % of income. Meanwhile, rich states pay more in federal taxes -- a lot more, around 1.4% more for each 1% rise in income, so that the proportion of income rises too 4/ — PolitiTweet.org
