In which case, when it comes to big-city federal tax dollars paying for pork-barrel infrastructure (dams, highways, etc.) and health facilities, and disaster-relief in their little communities, most of those dollars come from city workers. THEY're not the ones paying for minorities to get a benefit ... it's the minorities!

Without Blue states, Red states would be stuck with the taxes their people are willing to pay.
