I lived in Colorado for some years and most of the revenue from taxes is spent on building every town around appealing to tourists.
Every podunk valley town has hot springs and bike trails and camping and hiking as every cent invested in it, while the people that live there can barely get to work because RVs are clogging the roads and flipping over.
That's a major untalked about issue. How Colorado is decently wealthy based on its tourism but only because it also invests every cent back into it. The entire West of Denver exists just to be a giant themepark for taxes.
