I have a question for conservatives.
Lets say that the federal government gets rid of all the programs that conservatives have problems with i.e. Department of Education, welfare, health insurance, etc. Because of this, the federal government lowers the income tax rate considerably. Once the federal government no longer handles those issues and it is up to the states to do it, would you have a problem with the states raising their tax rates to help pay for the things the federal government no longer does? What if you paid the same amount of taxes, only the bulk of your taxes go to your state and not to the federal government?
