1. New York
Total payment to the government (in million): $256,183
Payment to the government per capita: $13,162

This lends credence to the statements made by Mayor Cuomo, that the state which contributes the most to the federal government probably deserves more support. Whether it gets that or not though, still remains to be seen.
