I'm not saying some states are "too dumb". I'm saying some states are too poor, and the poor shouldn't be left to suffer compounding negative results because their citizens can't shoulder the burden of higher state taxes. Because I promise you that federal taxes will not go down. Once the government has gotten used to milking you for X amount, they aren't going to give up that cash flow. All that will happen is that poor states will just get worse and worse as education falls and they fail to produce a workforce qualified for anything other than menial labor.

I get what you're saying, but I still think the federal gov has there hands in too many things. The states can be responsible for themselves, if they aren't doing a good job, then it's up to the people to vote in leaders who will do a better job.
