Have the States, via a convention, amend the Constitution to this effect:

-Prohibit from the congress and courts the power to meddle in the States' tax policies
The States will have differing tax policies.
People will leave the States which don't work.
People will move to the States which do work.
Redistribution would necessarily go from producing to consuming States.
Attempts at excessive redistribution would be checked by the Senate.
16th amendment needs to be repealed.

I think it is funny that most folks do not show much allegiance to their State except when it comes to college football (except for Texans...lordy, lordy they ain't in that category).
To me the world is upside down. I think the majority of my tax dollars should go to the State and a lesser amount to the Federal Government. IMHO...THAT is the crux of the matter. The Federal Gov'ment continues to hold States hostage to the almighty federal dollar. Should be the other way around.
