On the new chart, updated for 08 election, Texas is the only payer state that's Republican. More of the payee states have turned Democratic but they're loosely concentrated at the bottom, near the financial tipping point.
Ah, the old days

heart?" Of course they are. SALT I: Republican. SALT II: Republican.
Ending the grain embargo on the SU: Republican. Who opened relations with
Red China? Nixon, a *Republican*. Who folded on the South Vietnamese?
Nixon and Ford, both, you guessed it, Republicans. Notice how when the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics (and there's that R word again) collapsed,
the Republicans immediately bungled the next election. Loss of necessary
guidence from their Red overlords? Almost certainly.
