Question for the House
Since the GOP was all for Trump pouncing on NATO allies for not contributing enough to help themselves, why don't blue state governors pounce on red state governors for not taxing their state citizens for not contributing enough to their own tax base to help themselves? Why do blue states have to continue to contribute heavily to the Federal coffer but the red states get proportionately more Federal aid than blue states?
Is it time for those attractive retirement states to tax incomes at state levels just like the blue states do?
