Cape May County - In case anyone has never noticed, the federal government participates in wealth redistribution. Wealthier states pay more to the federal government than poorer states, and poorer states in turn receive more federal funding than wealthy states. The more federal funding a state receives, the lower state and local taxes can then be. This is reality. Organizations like the Rockefeller Institute of Government track state payments and funding.
