Commie in this respect anyway. The combined 28% GD

Three states producing over 25% of the total GDP.
Sort of a 'foreign aid; considering how divided the country is.

As Americans head to the polls — or the mail-in ballot drop boxes — voters will weigh in on their own state's financial health based on who they elect in state, local and federal elections.
To put states' financial health — and the potential impact on residents of those states — into context, MoneyGeek analyzed and ranked states according to their dependence on the federal government. Rankings account for political affiliation, net benefits individuals and organizations in the state receive, state government revenue from federal sources and GDP per capita. We also examined which states received the most in child tax credits — both in terms of the annualized total amount and amount received per capita.
KEY FINDINGS:
Eight of the 10 states most dependent on the federal government were Republican-voting, with the average red state receiving $1.35 per dollar spent.
Nine states sent more to the federal government than they received — seven of these were Democrat-voting and had higher per capita GDPs than many of the red states that received the most.
New Mexico had the highest return on federal spending of any state ($4.33), and Delaware had the lowest ($0.63).
The eight states receiving the highest child tax credit per capita were all Republican-voting.
Federal Dependency Rankings by State
To find the states in the U.S. that were most dependent on the federal government in 2021, MoneyGeek analyzed the return on taxes sent to the federal government and the percent of each state’s revenue provided by the federal government. We also compared states by political affiliation and per capita GDP to learn more about the factors that contribute to federal dependency.
STATE FEDERAL DEPENDENCY RANKING
Red States Lead With Federal Dependence
Democratic-voting blue states tend to be wealthier and pay more to the federal government than they get. In contrast, Republican-voting red states tend to have less wealth and receive more federal government funds than they pay. In the MoneyGeek rankings, 8 of the 10 most dependent states are considered red states.
