States (and people) are too dependent on the feds.
...in my opinion the fastest cure for the problem is for “people” to stop sending money to the IRS, instead the State Treasurer should be the recipient. They then decided after the State’s needs have been met, how much remains to send to DEE CEE.
I’ve thought that for years. The system is backwards. The states are the higher power and are confederated into the United States via the Constitution. The States should receive all internal revenue, and then subsidize the confederation.
I think my beliefs are much closer to the original concept the founding fathers had than what is going on today.
