It shouldn't surprise me that the States that complain the most about taxes are the ones that get the most taxes from the federal government (put in a dollar, and get back $2, then complain like mad. Nuts). What is truly surprising to me, however, is how far down Nevada is on the list.
A massive portion of Nevada is owned by the government (specifically, the military, which uses a lot of it for bombing ranges - including the Nevada Test Site, home of over 900 nuclear tests). It is also the State where all of our nuclear waste is to be dumped (Yucca Mountain). Certainly Nevada deserves a bit more.
So, basically, the State the federal government uses as a wasteland and bombing range is near the bottom of the list.
Huh.
