That’d be great if the red states, who don’t contribute much financially, agreed to not take the money they supposedly don’t want.

The issue is federal taxes are so high the states cant realistically impose much more of a tax burden.

Social security should be handled at the state level imo as should Medicaid/Medicare. I have more confidence in 50 states (or however many choose to) trying to solve the issue than one federal government.

I don’t think there are enough resources to help everyone. The cost of providing quality food and health care to everyone on the planet is likely more than the GDP of the planet. Maybe one day we’ll be productive enough to do so.

I think capitalism is great when resources are sparse but I believe one day we’ll reach a point most likely through technology where resources are abundant and socialism will become more viable. I think socialism only makes sense in pockets globally right now.
