The cited extremes are California (blue) and Mississippi (red).
AP reports that California pays $10,510 per capita in federal taxes and receives $0.96 on the dollar. And Mississippi pays $5,740 per capita in federal taxes and receives $2.13 on the dollar.
The figure that's missing is the actual per capita receipt of federal dollars: $10k for CA and $12k for MS.
So states are receiving approximately the same number of federal dollars per person. However, they are not paying the same number of federal taxes per person.
I don't approve. But on the other hand that's exactly what you'd expect from a progressive tax system, which is widely popular.
Not that I think you're wrong, but citation?

I oppose both state/local tax deductions and farm subsidies.
There's no good reason except "because life is being unfair to me otherwise".
