This Report should describe the sources where the state government derives its revenue. Please note also the amount and share of total revenue which is a transfer from the Federal Government. (Some states get money from the Federal Government and some do not - on net this makes the who citizens who pay federal income taxes in those states that do not get money, the source of revenue for those states that do get Federal money.)
