Reference to educational reform in Charlotte in NY Times editorial
"An analysis of data from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation by Washington Post
database specialist Dan Keating found that people in states that voted
Republican were by far the biggest beneficiaries of federal spending. In states
that voted strongly Republican, people received an average of $1.50 back from
the federal government for every dollar they paid in federal taxes. In
moderately Republican states, the amount was $1.19. In moderately Democratic
states, people received on average of 99 cents in federal funds for each dollar
they paid in taxes. In strongly Democratic states, people got back just 86 cents
on the tax dollar."
