    Do you have equalization payments in the US? Like some states/provinces pays extra in to the feds and they give it to the shithole provinces/states?

    states/provinces themselves don't make money or pay taxes, so I'm not understanding what you mean

    In Canada, the feds take money from 'have' provinces and give it to 'have not' provinces. It's called 'equalization'.

    I'm guessing the answer is that no such thing occurs in the US.

    Sounds like taxation without representation. We consider that a bad thing here.

    The province should be taxing its citizens in order to generate the funds necessary to operate the functions of the province. The fed should be taxing its citizens in order to generate the funds necessary to operate the functions of the fed. Fin.

    What kind of shithole government needs to shoe-horn an extra stage of bureaucracy into that equation?

    NOTE: In America sometimes the 'function of the fed' is to provide financial aid to states in need. But that money would come out of their own tax revenue.

    Pretty much all taxation is unequal, so not sure why you apply that argument to this specifically.

    Why do you like taxation?

    That wasn't my argument.
