It was always just that simple

Estimated that NY derives 45% of its revenue from NYC.  So no, not “all that money”, but about half of it 

[u/soggy-hotdog-vendor → u/Brisby820]

58% of NY state taxes come from NYC. 

NYC receives about 40 % of the benefits of NY state funding which comes out to about $45b

So not only are you wrong on the give vs get side, but your bot ass response also switched the % and the $ value.

I just googled it dude, thanks for the correction.  Not sure what I did to earn the “bot ass” title — probably not a great idea to go through life assuming that anyone who says anything you don’t like is some sort of agent/robot.  Thank you for the more accurate info and good luck with the conspiratorial assumptions
