Tax Fairness

Mathew with a well-reasoned response to the calls for a "Tax Fairness Act" (keeping red states from getting a disproportionate share of blue state money):
And finally, about the inequities in federal tax distribution, and the half-serious call among usually-serious bloggers to "end red state welfare": yes, a great deal of it is pork. But unless you're willing to close America's national parks and sell off our federal lands at public auction in order to balance the regional books, then this isn't an argument that you want to seriously continue to make, now that the first initial shock of Bush's reelection has passed.
