No doubt. Never said it didn't. (edit: I did say it, "A federal tax would only go to the Interstate." and I was wrong. Post #42)

In 2006 our state got

1.4 million from state funds tax
0.9 million from federal tax
0.5 million from local tax

Each state gets a different number and the formula for the differences is a bit complicated. But basically more populated states that collect more tax for the feds get more money.
