The densely populated states will of course pay more fed. taxes. But that is not the argument.

State taxes should be the responsibility of state residents, just as county taxes should be the responsibility of the county residents.

I agree.

The Federal Government has expanded itself over the years and gained control of many functions that should belong to the states by using grants and subsidies as hooks.

One of the aspects of President Trump I am the happiest with is his stated desire to return power to the states. Better 50 laboratories working on solutions to operate more efficiently than one wasteful self perpetuating bureaucracy imposing flawed policies from afar.

POTUS has taken steps to follow through on this campaign promise and the end to involving the Feds in State Taxation is one big step.
