Looks similar to Equalization payments [1] already used in several places in the world.
It looks to me that this being organized by the state should be more fair and efficient, but the additional "local connection" you get is a nice touch though.

- azernik 4y agoWith a big difference: Instead of the state deciding how much to equalize and who the recipients should be, rich cities preempted that and set their own equalization contributions unilaterally. In the process, instead of deciding on the equalization recipients through any political process or deliberation, they opened that decision up to individual taxpayers.
