It's not mentioned in the article at all, but Minnesota is #2 in the nation for giving away money to other states.

Yeah, I was surprised by that. How comes Minnesota is so well-off?

Very interesting, thanks a lot for your explanations Snowguy.

I knew of course that Minnesota enjoyed more progressive economic policies than most other states, though I didn't know that you are in fact on of the richest states of the US. Must be the Scandinavian genes Wink

From overseas, I'd always associated Minnesota more with the poorer states that were hidden hard by the farm crisis, like Iowa.
