I'd rather increase federal powers than increase state powers. We should have a universal education requirement so the backwards morons in Mississippi don't ruin future generations with their creationism and other garbage.

Another one:
- States keep all revenues collected from the citizenry. They may purchase things from the Federal government if they wish, but nothing shall be mandatory. The Fed must base prices upon utilization rates.
For things like the military, CA necessarily pays more than RI. But, if a state wants to pay for its own healthcare or retirement programs, it does not have to pay the Fed for them. It keep the revenue, and pays for them itself.
(Obviously, this is a little selfish for me, since I live in LA. If we didn't have to give taxes to the Fed, we'd be the 3rd richest state, behind CA and TX.)
