Quote:Should their be a safety net, sure by all means implement and fund that at the State level. Fair to me, means that you get what you pay for, and you only pay for what you get.
People in this thread have kind of already made this point, but why is state so much better than country. Every state has richer and poorer counties, every county has richer and poorer cities, every city... Any organization which contains more than one person and collects taxes will inevitably end up helping one part more than the other when they use said tax. In addition, perhaps, beauracracies have economies of scale (this might just mean that maximum inefficiency is easier to obtain with larger size, but seriously).
