State's Rights And Federal Money

[The Madcap]

2. I like this idea

If the Feds aren't going to use it for anything helpful to the people, then the states should have the tax money. Along with this, it might be better if we could combine some of the states so that they act more like provinces and have a bit more mass to them so they can actually have enough money to handle disasters, health, etc. With fifty states, only a few have enough resources to do much of anything, California being the best example of that. Maybe we could combine them so we get it down to 13 provinces as a symbolic nod to the original 13 colonies.
