"There is a ton of evidence that it is true."

Like?

"Poorer states, have poorer people, who can't afford to pay taxes. In wealthier states their is more wealth to grab, so the government grab it.

(Edit - Possible confusion of terms here. I was using state in the generic sense. Different countries meaning different states, but even if you are referring to US states the same thing holds to a lesser extent)"

I was referring to the US. Better apples to apples comparison.

You are being overly simplistic. Wealthy states have better infrastructure. Better roads, better educational system, etc. That costs money, but it also is the foundation for their wealth.
