Can you reduce my fed taxes so my state can raise its taxes? I don’t mind because my state does a better job then the Fed.

>>Money that they get from the government in excess of what they pay in federal taxes. There are several ways to measure that.

Right. So what about the 30-35 military bases in California? Nothing?

Aircraft assembly facilities?

300,000 empty buildings that require routine maintenance (paid contractors).

I think you get my point. No Little Rock realtor earned a billion on the sale of old post office buildings.

I’m glad to discuss this subject but let’s make it all inclusive. I’ve yet to see one of the comparisons that included the big picture.

And then there is this from the Mises piece:

It is also worth noting that nine of the ten states with the lowest percent of college graduates all voted for Trump and that all of the ten states with the highest percent of graduates voted for Clinton in 2016.

Of course, the reason for this is that colleges just brainwash their students.
