Did you know that some of your federal tax dollars are going to help residents of Florida, Kentucky, New Mexico and 34 other states that receive far more money back from Washington than they send?

Just 13 states subsidize the other 37, according to the State University of New York's Rockefeller Institute of Government. And no state does that more than New Jersey: For every dollar you paid in federal taxes in 2015, you got back just 74 cents.

"It's outrageous that we are literally subsidizing these moocher states – their roads, their bridges, their fire departments – all at the cost of helping ours," said Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-5th Dist.

Many lawmakers from those states were also the ones who supported President Donald Trump in curbing your federal deduction for state and local taxes, making the disparity even worse.

Under the Republican tax bill, New Jersey and five other states, four of which now pay more to Washington than they receive in services, will contribute a greater share of federal income taxes than they do now, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a progressive research group.

Here are the 15 states New Jersey residents subsidize the most:

15. North Carolina

North Carolina gets $1.41 back from the federal government for every dollar its residents pay in taxes. But that didn't stop Rep. Ted Budd, R-N.C., from trying to end funding for the badly-wanted-in-New Jersey Gateway Tunnel project. He had the support support of House Republican leaders who let his amendment come up for a vote, but his effort failed.

13. Missouri

The federal government shows the Show Me State the money, returning $1.42 for every dollar paid. Missouri received $12.5 billion in federal farm subsidies from 1995 to 2016, ninth highest among the 50 states, according to the Environmental Working Group. New Jersey ranked 42nd with less than $270 million.

12. Arizona

Arizona gets more than twice as much money back from the federal government than New Jersey does: $1.50 versus 74 cents for every dollar paid. That didn't deter U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., who has criticized Trump, from giving the president a major political victory by voting for the GOP tax bill that targeted New Jersey and other high-tax states. He called the legislation "that will enable U.S. business to compete globally and reforms that will deliver a fairer, simpler tax code."

11. Maryland

Because its Washington suburbs house so many federal agencies, Maryland is one of the few high-taxed states that receive more money from Washington than it receives in services, $1.52 for every dollar.

10. Virginia

The home of the Pentagon received $53 billion in military spending in 2015, more than any other state, according to the Defense Department's Office of Economic Adjustment. Virginia gets $1.59 back for every dollar paid in taxes.

9. Hawaii

Hawaii gets $1.67 for every dollar paid in taxes. The amount of Defense Department spending in Hawaii accounts for 9.8 percent of the state's gross domestic product, behind only Virginia, which houses the Pentagon.

8. Arkansas

While New Jersey doesn't have a national park within its borders, Arkansas is home to Hot Springs National Park, whose patrons have included Franklin D. Roosevelt, Babe Ruth and Al Capone, according to 50 states.com. Arkansas gets $1.66 for every dollar paid in federal taxes.

7. Maine

This New England state gets $1.66 back for every $1 in taxes paid. More than 24 percent of Maine residents received Social Security in 2015, compared with the national average of 18.5 percent, according to the Motley Fool, a financial services company.

5. Kentucky

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's home state of Kentucky gets $1.90 for every dollar paid in taxes, a bigger subsidy than most other states. Even so, he used a parliamentary maneuver to be able to pass the GOP tax bill on a party-line vote and gut the state and local tax deduction used so often by New Jersey taxpayers.

4. Alabama

Alabama's subsidy, now $1.93 for every dollar paid in taxes, may only increase. That's because U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., is the new Senate Appropriations Committee chairman, putting him in a position to bring more federal dollars to his state.

3. West Virginia

More than one-quarter of West Virginians are on Social Security, the highest percentage in the country, according to the Motley Fool. No wonder West Virginia gets more than double its money back: $2.07 for every dollar paid in federal taxes.

2. Mississippi

Mississippi gets $2.13 for every dollar paid in federal taxes. It also had the largest percentage than any other state of residents on food stamps in 2014: 650,911, or 22 percent, according to Cheat Sheet.

1. New Mexico

New Mexico gets $2.21 back for every dollar paid in federal taxes, more than any other state. One reason: Washington pays 79 percent of the state's Medicaid costs, also more than any other state, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, which studies health care. The share in New Jersey: 61 percent, below the U.S. average of 63 percent.

The rest of the moochers

While opposing aid to Hurricane Sandy, gutting the state and local tax deduction and allowing the House to vote on taking away Gateway funding, House Speaker Paul Ryan's home state of Wisconsin enjoys a subsidy from the federal government.

So does Florida, one of the states whose share of the federal tax burden will drop significantly under the GOP tax bill, according to ITEP.

Here are the other 20 states receiving more from Washington than they give:

Washington, Utah, South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Rhode Island, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Indiana, Oregon, Vermont, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Montana, Tennessee, and Alaska.
