For every dollar we send to Washington, we are getting back about $0.33 cents in federal spending – one of the worst returns on investment in the nation. To put this in perspective, here in the 5th District, we are getting less than half our state average, which is $.68 cents on the dollar. When you add that up, the difference between what we pay out in federal tax dollars, and what we get back, equals $14,000 a person, per year. That’s the Garrett Tax and repealing it is critical to getting our district the resources it needs thrive.
