minus-squareBarbarian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up14·edit-24 months agoIsn’t this kinda already the case when you compare California to other states? In terms of subsidizing the rest of the country, not healthcare.
minus-squarechonglibloodsport@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·4 months agoCanada has a massive program of equalization transfer payments where taxes collected in rich provinces go to subsidize poor ones. The US does not have anything like this. None of the state governments have their budgets subsidized by other states.
