Study reveals discrepancies in state tax spending and ROI.

A new study by WalletHub has found that Republican-led red states use taxpayers' money more effectively to provide superior government services than Democrat-led blue states. The study used 29 metrics to compare the quality and efficiency of state government services across five categories, taking into account the different rates at which residents are taxed in each state. Red states yield a better return on investment for taxpayers, ranking on average significantly higher than their blue state counterparts. The study seems to indicate that states with higher taxes don't necessarily provide superior government services.
