"Sources: Data used to create this ranking were collected from the Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Census Bureau, USAspending.gov, Bureau of Labor Statistics and Governing.com. " I can quote disclaimers as well.
There are also notes everywhere in the article explaining where they got their numbers from. And large Q&A part with scholars, professors and experts in their field. But hey maybe they're all liars. Especially the IRS

Left off the law suits part of the post.
Also do you know the EPA caused the last lead smelter in the US to shut down after setting new emissions regulations on them, millions of dollars later the company is about to meet the retirements and the EPA goes oh no.. we have a new requirement, millions of dollars later... ooops sorry we have a new requirement at that point the company shut it down.
So they absolutely have hurt industries in the country, also when a state only has a handful of actual industry in that state and 1 shuts its doors it is a big problem that will take years to recover from.

Really? You couldn't get more simplistic if you tried. How about doing that analysis by county, most of which are red? NOW who takes the most? The number of blue counties is much smaller, but they are absolutely full of "takers."
