You have to admit that it IS fair that people in different states that make the same amount of money end up paying the same amount of federal tax. If Pennsylvania wants to tax you a lot more after you pay your federal tax, that is between you and the State of Pennsylvania.
They could simply lower their state taxes, or they could give you a deduction for your federal taxes. There are lots of reasonable schemes that the different states can enact. But at the end of the day, Okies and Arkies shouldn’t be subsidizing housing tracts in Pennsylvania.
Nope, any "subsidy" is for the farmland that makes Pennsylvania the nation's # 3 dairy producer. Ag is our # 1 industry. And far too much farmland is assessed at its potential value as housing tracts rather than as its functional value in farmland.
Oh yes, this "sounds" great as "punish the blue cities" but it going to have tsunami effect on food prices.
