Any money they have they collected from the citizens of these individual States. They forget that.
Am I seeing this right? If the feds didn’t tax us at such a high degree and these federal grants were nonexistent, we would be able to retain more of our hard earned money and have more to spend in whatever states we reside. The more money we spend for goods and services in our state means more money in state taxes that go towards OUR state. In this scenario, the state wouldn’t have to rely on federal grants and the federal government wouldn’t be in as good of a position to micromanage, right?
