Maastricht Treaty revisions needed?

[kandrathe]

The Federal government takes from all states, and gives to all states. The question is in what balance - and we have our answers, both absolute and per capita. States like New York put in more than they take out.

... which is unfair, right? New Yorkers should retain the benefits of their own income, rather than have it siphoned off and poured into a back water hole due to some back room congressional deal making. I want to stop Oberstar as well, the Minnesota congressman who chairs the transportation committee. It is embarrassing to have federal transportation money pumped into multi million dollar boondoggle projects that are literally in the wilderness of northern Minnesota. Meanwhile, the nations infrastructure remains in abysmal condition.
