Living in a society such as this one should expect to pay their fair share. I don't mind paying state taxes. I get direct benefit from those taxes. I have nice roads to drive my cars on. My children had decent educations in a once decent public education system. Federal taxes? What direct benefit do I get from the taxes I pay? Nothing. And don't tell me my taxes keep me safe from thugs in dirty nightshirts in shithole countries on the other side of the world. I don't give a damn about Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Israel, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine, and all of the other places and I certainly have never met anyone from these countries bent on killing me. Never.
Trump’s plan is to reduce federal taxes by cutting wasteful spending and transferring programs that can be handled by the states, to the states. The Department of Education and many federal healthcare programs come to mind.
Doing this will force states to similarly cut their expenses and become more efficient. Large state tax increases won’t be tolerated. It’s a lot easier to throw the local bums out in the statehouse if they misuse our money.
Why send our tax dollars to Washington, only to have it pass through the bureaucracy before it comes back to us, being reduced to pennies on the dollar?
