Sorry, but yes it is true. Texas also often recieves most of the FEMA aid. The country would be better off in many ways without it. (But I have family there, don't really want to see it go.)
"The citizens of Texas certainly pay into the federal government, but multiple studies have found that they get even more in return. Over a 25 year period, Texans have, on average, received more in federal money than they have paid into the system"
