Indianans aren't contributors, but you aren't leeches on those of us who contribute. Just keep this in mind.

And now it comes to the less fun part of this exercise. Who are the leeches? Who's on welfare? Odds are, if you're from one of the states below, you're a despicable person who's dependent on the largesse of the states above (ranked ascending order of leeching):

  • AK and HI?

    Other than AZ, where I was born but had the good fortune to escape quickly, and HI, which isn't on either list, every state I've lived in voluntarily is on the contributor list.

    Interesting to note the "liberal/conservative" split seen here, eh?

  • But according to your stats, Georgia makes a penny for every dollar contributed.

    Lovely.

    Now, the state I grew up in, NM, is the highest in the land.

    That would be because of all the Native Americans living in that state. NAs get A LOT of funding from tax dollars. It's rather weird, but hey, why not?
  • Born in contributer #11
    Raised in contributer #1
    Now living in contributer #4

    I think the red/blue state split is interesting as well...it makes me giggle whenever I hear the right side secession argument...
