What your post fails to acknowledge is that states such as CA and NJ deduct their high taxes from their federal taxes, which is in itself a federal subsidy.
Subsidy? A deduction? I guess you don’t understand what a Tax Deduction is. Let me ask you: have you ever taken one? What about a Child Tax Credit? Any other deductions? Ever? You don’t see me trying to shame you for keeping more of your own money. That’s all you.
