The problem with this is ,,that in doing so the Government is killing that state that has done well, and has managed their system perfectly.
Under the United states constitution the Federal government doesn't have the athority to do that.
Thats why we have almost 20 states that have threatened leaving the United states of america. When these states joined the United states they signed a contract with the federal government, and that contract says, that they are free to run their own buisness and in return they will pay a percentage of their total State tax to the federal government. Since Bush and now Obama are both going against these old agreements and ignoring the Constitution of the United States, We are on a verge of civil war.
Then we have the News and Tv and they are now bought and paid for by the government so the American people don't know really now what is going on. All over the US people are now not getting any real news so they are using the internet to look up and study the Constitution, and Lots of them are Pissed that the Government is trying to run everything, and they aren't going to take it anymore.
That is what is really happening here in America. See this country has 150 yrs of great prosperity, based on the Constitution and the states running their own affiars, This in turn, made competition between the states and the best finacial plans came to the top. The bad plans and the states that made the bad choices suffer till the people in that state elect a change of state leadership.
Its meant to be this way because then everyones vote makes a real difference and each state and its people live, learn and grow and change for the better.
Now that the Government is over stepping its bounds and spending OUR money like its going out of style , they have come to the conclusion that they need more money and they are stepping on the constitution by telling the states what to do. Some Americans don't understand that in giving the Federal Government this kind of power they are silencing their own voice. Because the more the Government runs the country and the states, then the less the people's vote means.
I hope you get what I'm saying, I can only imagine how strange it is to understand our system.

believe it or not i find american government simpler than british government. also its cute that 20 states want to amancipate (is that the right word?) but its NEVER going to happen, they would fail instantly.
but everyones vote DOESNT make a difference, I watched the last 3 elections, live, i stayed up all night, after a certain point, the votes that are STILL left to be cast in the west, dont matter, the race is run. I dont know how you'd go about fixing that, but the whole points system and is it seats, per state, i cant remember the proper term, is it tickets? damnit its late and im ill, but either way i watched the states turn as they were counted and verified in the obama race, and i believe that it was once they took ohio or somehwere like that, it became impossible for McCain to catch up... making any subsequent vote... worthless.
just my understanding of it.
is Glen Beck bought and paid for by the government? FOx he's on isnt it? clearly a moron hired either for a bet or simply to antagonise people to get a ratings reaction.... so im not buying bought out media. also the irish guy... cant rememebr his name (i know its not helpful) he's certainly not pro democrat and he still has a job and gets aired.
but again intersting.
