Why would it be so beneficial to pass the power back to states and localities when you do not know what laws state legislators, alderman and municipal councils will pass? My view is that state and local legislators are just as apt to pass oppressive laws and taxes, and probably (because less attention is focused on them) more subject to corruption and to the temptations of graft. I have seen local school boards and city councils in action, and some of the decisions made are absurd, some seem the acts of petty dictators hungering for the ego gratification that the exercise of power gives them, and some are simply repressive. Reform? No, there is no utopia created when power shifts from one group of bureaucrats to another. Power corrupts at any level.
