DC is a blue "state" they fund other states via taxes more than the inverse.

The main employer in DC is the federal government, and those jobs are paid for by the rest of the country's taxes...

27% of the people in DC work for the federal government. If you're looking to criticize people for living off of tax dollars, there's a lot less honorable ways of doing that than working a 9-5 in an underpaid public service job.
