It might be a good idea to do it this way, but it is a very radical change with high chances of errors. What if 10 states enact some abhorrent legislation and makes them broke, or collect no taxes? I'd think this kind of change requires constitution ammendment level coordination.
- dsfyu404ed 8y ago> have all taxes apportioned, and leave it to the states to decide how they wish to collect the revenue needed to pay the federal government. Let them crash and burn and serve as an example of the kind of policy you shouldn't enact. There's 50 states and interstate migration is not restricted. At a national level people do very much have the ability to pick one of the 49 other ships if the one they are on is sinking. Sure it would suck for the people who don't see the writing on the wall when their state is going down but I think it would be less damaging in the long term than the status quo.
- conanbatt 8y agoWell you will need plenty of states to vote this change, and I think they would vote against it, even if on paper it gives them more economic power and independence.
