Let me Google that for you...

"Okanagan and Stevens County also saw a 2-1 return on the amount of services it receives versus the amount of money collected."

"It showed King County accounts for 43.29% of all state tax revenues, yet, it only uses 27.41%. Instead, the millions of dollars raised in King County are used elsewhere across Washington state."

Stevens County ranks #24 in tax revenue, but #2 in tax spending. They receive twice as many dollars as they collect, thanks to King County, mainly, that gets .63 on the dollar for every tax dollar it collects.

"Small eastern Washington counties top the list if it’s scored by a ratio of help received to taxes paid. Okanogan County got back $2.07 in spending for every $1 it sent to Olympia in taxes. No. 2 is Stevens County at an even $2 coming in for $1 out, and No. 3 is Adams County, at $1.98 in for every $1 out."

This is the same story nationally...shithole states like Kentucky, where McConnell bitches all day about Socialism, are the biggest Socialists in the country, sucking tax dollars off the government [Bleeeeep!] at twice the rate they put in...not shockingly, Washington is high on the list of donor states to those "rugged individualists", too.

In five minutes you can Google a thousand reports and articles on this.

You can thank Seattle for the public roads you drive on today, and the rest of hte infrastructure you use...Stevens County didn't pay for them, my tax dollars did...and I don't even mind, it's my state over there, too...I just get tired of the bitching about those Seattle liberals from those who benefit the most from them, daily.

Fish on...
