“Any state that requires more than 45% of their annual budget to be Federally supplemented, for a period of 3 of 5 years (non-consecutive) summarily concedes their budgetary autonomy.”
Boom, Federal govt steps in, taxes all the freeloader states at appropriate levels, and levies Corporate taxes uniformly across the tier.
Who am I kidding tho, right? Neither Party would ever, EVER push back on their Corporate overlords. But my pipedream is nice, no?
I think the biggest problem by far is the wealth disparity: the wealthy are pouring billions into pushing right wing propaganda, think tanks, and lobbying every year. Liberalism and Social Democracy has no answer to the rich using their wealth to blast people with endless propaganda and disinformation.
I really wish there were a peaceful path forward, but I am becoming increasingly convinced that nothing will ever improve until we, the people, overthrow the billionaire class. But that will probably not happen until it is too late
