Strange counterpoint to your magical thinking is that blue states support red states with their taxes now isn't it?
I have said many times I find it Ironic that the ones that complain the most about government spending are, by a large part, the ones that are actually spending the least.
It would be interesting to show for, say, one year what it would be like for NYS and Cali to stop paying taxes to the nation. Just keep it all in house. People can argue "well, services/food/etc would be cut". What would really happen would be that subsidies for Corn and Tobacco would disappear as those resources were "outsourced" (at expense less than what is being currently paid).
The system would become less efficient, for sure, but NYS/NYC would not be hurting for food when they could afford to subsidize it with the additional tax savings. Meanwhile, most of the farm owners would go bust, be bought out by conglomerates if they have not already, and sell 99% of their crap overseas.
A real win-win, eh?
