I did not intend to hit and run, as someone put it. I have been busy with other things. I took the quote away from the debate about legalizing marijuana because my shock at the statement had nothing to do with drugs.
It probably was just me because no one else has said anything about the original post suggesting tax revenues originate with the beleaguered federal government (note that the original statement capitalized both words) and the states could not exist without Big Daddy.
Quite frankly, our all-powerful Big Daddy is going to pot.

Some states get a lot of money from the Federal Government. Some get less.
Those states which generate more tax revenue require less from the Federal Government.
That was my point and it's correct.
State sovereignty is a different subject.
