The tax structure of the US makes it very hard for states to provide this as so much of our tax dollars go to the Fed. Then, as a blue state resident, a bunch of those Federal taxes go to poorer states. We could do a lot with the ~$4 billion annually we pay in taxes that go to other states.
== At the Federal level it is to some degree unprecedented to provide services at the level of quality and at the scale.==
Medicare? US military? Us postal services? And on and on.
