Why would blue states pay property taxes in Florida? Even if Florida declares bankruptcy and no other state will foot the bill.
The GP may be referring to something like the difference between the taxes that are collected federally and paying of various services ('balance of payments'):
> In FY 2024, the federal government collected around $5.07 trillion from states and their residents through taxes on individuals and businesses and redistributed about $4.87 trillion back to states and residents through programs like Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, and education grants.

Currently Florida 'paid in' more than it 'took out'.
If People in Florida residents have higher income that doesn't doesn't mean that if it doesn't pay federal taxes, its budget wont collapse. They monies collected by federal income tax does not belong to state of Florida.
