Look, if NY or California want neat parks with hot tubs and zip-lines, and billion dollar bullet trains and welfare for all and those states tax tremselves to provide such things, nGreat! BUT, individual taxpayers should not get to deduct anything from their Federal Tax obligations for doing so. Oklahomans might decide to go low amenities, stick with the basics and have a low tax. They too, will pay their full Federal obligations.
What’s wrong with that?
