The issue with the US system is that 99% of local actions are unsustainable. Everything is federal or nothing, even at the state level you end up socialising losses and privatising gains. .
I was just saying, when you said these things should be done voluntary by local groups, that doesnt work because it's designed not to because that's how the US is.
It's great for lower taxes and as long as that is the o ly thing that you care about, you're golden!
But if it was the federal government, it would affect everyone, not just one state. Also, there wouldn't be 50 examples for them to pick the best from. (There are other countries, but their circumstances tend to vary more than the circumstances between states, so it's easier for naysayer to argue that the example doesn't really apply.)
