To calculate states' dependence, WalletHub analyzed three metrics: how much a state gets in federal funding per every dollar it pays in federal income taxes, the percentage of state funding that comes from the federal government and the number of federal employees per capita, both military and civilian.

Check out the map below to see how dependent your home state is compared to the rest of the country. The most-dependent states are shaded white, and least-dependent states are shaded blue. A ranking of 1 indicates least-dependent, while 50 represents most-dependent.

 

But but but but......

 

That article is absurdly misleading, but have fun.

 

You have to take anything you see in the Huffington Post with a large grain of salt.

 

you have the right to pick it apart as you see fit, nothing wrong with a valid argument against this.
huff post is a conduit here, the link to the study is in the article.

 

or you could post whats misleading about it and defend your position.
i dont care either way, just found it interesting as so many here always defending "conservatives" positions against entitlements
