Quote:That's easy to fix, end the federal funding of welfare. Each state is responsible for their own welfare programs and to what extent they want to support the poor in their state. Some states with high social awareness like California want to give a living wage, go for it, but the residents of California pay for it.

 

Do they also get to place a tariff on goods coming from states that don't?

 

See, that's the problem with the Republican piecemeal way of doing things.

 

The constitution makes it illegal for states to do anything to impede trade between each other, but states are allowed to do things that harm the trade interests of other states, such as giving out massive tax breaks or destroying union protections to get industries to move there.

 

Nope, it's time to abandon the republican plan of playing everyone against each other and time to get back to the days of a UNITED States of America where the playing field is level no matter which state you happen to find yourself born in.
