Fantastic. The fewer federal parasites, the better.
When you say "the government barely works" this kind of shit is why. You can't have less taxes, less federal workers, and a better more capable government. This is why the GOP isn't good for the economy in the long run. They do what most shitty ceo's do. Cut costs, cut jobs, demand more work for less money, and ruin the long term prospects of the govt at large. Doesn't matter to them though, they can point at marginally lower costs for that fiscal quarter and idiots clap for them.
Oh no. I mean completely abolish the federal government. No federal government at all. Zero. Not a zilch. The federal government is too many steps removed from the people and does not give a shit. At least if we had only the 50 state governments, they would be closer to the people and have to care more about what the people thought.
Cool, then the more liberal states can leave the Republican states to rot.
Exactly. Then the states would have the freedom to enforce the rules they wanted to within their borders. And people would have the ability to choose what rules they wanted to live under.
