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.

That changed around 1865 or so.
