“take the power from the central govt and force it back to state and local”

My political priorities are:
1. square footage, dollar-based property tax caps
2. denouncing (officially exiting) the Refugee Convention
3. a blocked currency such as India has
4. percentage income tax caps for the middle and working classes
5. dedication of the income tax from people paying any higher rate to the payoff of the existing national debt

There is some sort of strange belief that state and local government power is good. New York State and California have provided ample evidence to the contrary.

The purpose as our founding fathers was to have 50 govts. At least the govt is closer to the people and can be changed.

I would rather have 10 corrupt state govt and 40 good state govts than ONE CORRUPT CENTRAL GOVT.

Corruption NEVER stops, it moves.

State/local govt in and of itself still has problems, but if there is corruption, WE allowed it.
