This chart you shared identifies Texas as having the 44th highest GDP per capita out of every region in the entire world out of 454 regions, which is actually really good. It’s especially good given how much rural land Texas includes, where an entire state’s per capita GDP is being compared to much smaller urban regions like Luxembourg, Warsaw, and London.
According to this, all but 3 states receive more than they contribute, and Texas is roughly 17th out of 50 in terms of receiving the least amount back. I guess I don’t understand how Texas could be singled out in a dataset like this

Texas clocks in at $1.21 receivers for every $1 sent to the federal government.

Nobody singled them out, yes dozens of states like texas are massively subsidized by the federal government
