Real Talk: Can we redistribute the Federal Government's Wealth too?

I cannot support this stimulus bill! It is a massive shot-in-the-dark that does very little to address the financial, and social, accountability problems that got us here in the first place. We're making the same mistakes we did with the financial industry bailouts. By not providing the people/states with the motivation to change, we're enabling them to continue their destructive behaviors.

President Obama, Senators, if you want to see things change then you are going to have to "Show Me the Money". I think you get that individuals need relief. But you fail to see that States and Counties need this same kind of relief. If you want to redistribute the wealth to sustainable measures then that's fine by me - but start in your own court. Don't expect the other levels of government to mature and work harder when you are managing them poorly.

The Federal Government needs to fairly share the tax pie with the States and Counties of America. I'm talking true delegation (according to the Constitution Amendment 10) and reduction of Federal tax rates in order to give States and cities the ability to raise their levels up by that difference at most. I'm NOT advocating that the Federal Government continue to hand out allowances like we're little kids. Obviously, we'd have to transition to this as it would have to be earned not given. However, using a couple of percentage points as a carrot for States to get their budgets and programs in shape would allow us to truly shed this "trickle down economics' theory that has crippled our ability to govern.
