So I did them. I still wish I had the numbers for the individual states, but I was able to run a correlation on what I had.<\/p>\n<p>There <i>is<\/i> a correlation, but it isn&#8217;t that strong &#8212; about 80% or 1.2 sigma. The problem is the Southeast: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia. This is a very big and heterogeneous collection of states. What&#8217;s more, there is a slight problem with the Rockies: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. This area is a lot more anti-government than their low federal benefits would indicate. But there is a reason for this. Colorado is 56% of the economy of this region and it has an extremely low federal benefit level (70%). Without it, the level would be 106%. That would put it right along the line implied by the other regions (without the Southeast).<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, there is a correlation: areas that get more federal government largess are more likely to be in favor of getting rid of the federal government. Just the same, the correlation is weak. But we ought to expect that given the grouping of the states. That will tend to reduce the correlation and that is more true the larger the group is, as in the Southeast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After writing Secession Oriented States Get More From Feds Than They Give, it bothered me that I didn&#8217;t do the analysis of all the regions.
