We tear down the federal government as a subsidizing entity and rebuild it as an entity that protects the country from outside hostilities, enforces federal law as it relates to interstate, and enforces and protects essential rights of all its citizens (The Bill of Rights and so forth). A minimal flat tax is paid to the Federal Government and the three branches function the same way but with limits.
We return to states’ rights. States are responsible for the cultural type laws, taxes, subsidies etc etc.
So if Kansas sees it fit to pay no taxes, outlaw abortion, outlaw homosexual marriage, and teach creationism and the Ten Commandments they are welcome. If New York decides to pay taxes and subsidize their own Health Care plan, social security and education, teach evolution and history, allow abortions and homosexuals to marry, they are welcome to do so.
States would essentially be responsible for their own decisions and deal with the consequences.
Good Idea? Bad Idea?
