Actually there are many states that live on hand out from the govt.. Alaska for instance doesn't have any sort of state tax or sales tax and the govt pays them over $2 for every dollar they pay in to the Feds.

Cali gets back less than they pay in, meaning even if the govt bailed them out they wouldn't be a leech like Alaska is on tax dollars and many of the other states that can't support their budgets with out federal funds.
