The big scam is that YOUR income taxes go to the Feds, who then send back to YOUR state the $$$ the Feds think YOUR state is entitled to.
I say drop the amount of $$$ sent to the Feds & give it directly to your state instead...or just get better comtrols on both the Fed & the state.
There are THOUSANDS of Fed employees in the cycle of taking the money in & doling it back out.
A truly “make work” job.
And then they pick and choose the sectors they want to stimulate (Cash for Clunkers, etc). Let us keep our taxes and WE choose where we spend it.
