People often complain about the federal government taking their states rights but the reality is that the states are happy to sell their rights for federal dollars.

That is why we need to turn things around. States handle all taxation and approve federal funding not the other way around.

I have an ongoing argument about this with my Governor and both of my legislature members. it would be better to not pay Federal taxes for highways etc and then beg for it back after the Feds skim 15% or so off. They are coming around but do not see a way to stop it.

Wealth redistribution. Those federal dollars did not just magically appear in the vault, as many seem to believe. They were taken from citizens and private enterprise at the point of the IRS's gun.
