People in this thread have kind of already made this point, but why is state so much better than country. Every state has richer and poorer counties, every county has richer and poorer cities, every city... Any organization which contains more than one person and collects taxes will inevitably end up helping one part more than the other when they use said tax. In addition, perhaps, beauracracies have economies of scale (this might just mean that maximum inefficiency is easier to obtain with larger size, but seriously).

In order to realize economies of scale, you need to eliminate the smaller entities. That is the idea behind one large central government, such as was tried in the many communist countries. I'm advocating the reverse, a focus on local taxation and local control.

My local government has many of the mechanisms of my State government, and my State government has most of the mechanisms of the Federal government. By taking the Feds out of the bulk of the domestic side of government we eliminate the redundancy that is already performed at the state level.
