"So, actually, we don't need a 2-state solution. We need a 50-state solution."

Well said!. We cannot trade one central-planning tyranny for another. Any interstate government must be extremely limited and checked by the States. For example, no taxation at the interstate level -- all taxes must be state or local.

I just posted about the continued need for SOME federal taxation. We were talking about how we could possibly phase out Social Security and Medicare and also handle other federal obligations.

HOWEVER. The amount of federal taxes needed to do this would be miniscule compared to what we are paying now, not only for skyrocketing entitlements, but for Honey Bee Research in Indiana and doggie poop bag boxes at parks in Alabama. Read: PORK.

If we greatly decreased federal taxes to the amount necessary to fund a limited, proper federal government, and also required all further taxes to be state or local, there would be an incredible resurgence in America.
