(22,516 posts)Don't push us too far, particularly those in the upper right corner and the far left. We're both G-7 without rump Amurka.

(14,895 posts)The tax dollars collected by the us government.
Those states add up to 47.14% of us tax dollars collected in 2024, per a wikipedia page.
Add in states i would argue are blue, (MI, NV, PA, and AZ) and it get you 55.08%
Thats remarkably closer to half than i expected.
