The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Minimizing Taxes Paid and State Welfare


The purpose of this law is to minimize taxes paid to the federal government while simultaneously minimizing federal welfare paid to each state.

Benefits paid to a state specifically excludes benefits paid to, or on behalf of, one or more specific individual(s). Those benefits are not paid to the state. Those benefits are for the individual(s) who earned them.

Maximum Total Federal Taxes Payable by All State Residents

1. The maximum amount, in total, of all federal taxes all the residents of any specific state shall be required to pay to the federal government, shall be no more than the federal benefits paid to that state by the federal government that year.

Limiting Federal Welfare to States

2. The maximum amount, in total, of all federal payments to a state, shall be no more than the total amount, in total, of the federal taxes all the residents of the state paid to the federal government that year. A federal payment for one or more benefits that follow an individual, or a group, shall not be counted as a federal welfare payment for any state.
