Blue states have a valid argument about paying the lion share of fed. taxes, but they have no right forcing other states to subsidize the poor spending and taxing at the STATE level, and thankfully, it has been cut back.
How about other tax deductions that are still in place -- and still effectively "subsidize" high-tax states? For example, how about a business that still gets to deduct 100% of its state and local taxes ... even though people cannot?
