How Much Does Texas
Actually Rely On
Federal Money? QUICK
All Federal money that is spent FACTS
in Texas first comes from tax
money paid by Texans.
Texans pay between $340-$400
billion in state and Federal taxes
annually.
State and Federal Government
spends between $227-$240 billion
annually.
Texans pay the Federal
Government an average of $265
billion annually, yet they only
spend an average of $162 billion.
Texans overpay an average of
$100-$120 billion annually into
the Federal bureaucracy.
At the current level that Texans are paying to both the
Federal Government and the State Government, an
independent Texas could preserve and
maintain every program, every job, current military
enlistment, every department, every facility, every
military base, every function, and every contract with
no reductions.Texans would enjoy a massive surplus of
revenue could be used to fund additional national
functions or to give significant tax relief to Texans
