It's abundantly clear now that the federal government has too much power. More power should be returned to the states so that individuals in one part of the country with one set of values don't impose on individuals with different values elsewhere.

Smaller federal government would both heal political division and weaken the leaches of special interests and lobbyists.

All politicians are hypocrites controlled by corporations. #empowerthestates

Welcome to the Republican Party! Limited government FTW!

No conservatives believe in limited government, they believe in government that doesnt help the poor and the disenfranchised. Two verybdifferent things

I don’t hate this idea as long as we can also stop supporting the ass backwards welfare states of the south with our federal tax dollars.

Disagree. Please see Jim Crow for a historical example, gay marriage/LGBTQ rights for a more recent example, and the fight over abortion/reproductive rights coming in the future for real world impact of what happens when states have final say on how individuals can lead their lives.

If your only response is "leave your state", I certainly hope that wouldn't have been your response to a gay person before Obergefell, or to a black person before the Civil Rights movement

Yeah but all of those are now established at the federal level - they can't be reverted by the states individually

Here’s the problem. The federal government is the only authority on money printing. States will never be able to afford programs such as free colleges are free healthcare through taxation. Middle ground could be the federal government giving each state a block grant based on population with the states free to spend as they wish

SC1 – that’s not a problem, that’s the point. Federal government should not be in the business of controlling healthcare and education!

I would prefer fair and equitable treatment for everyone, but barring that I’d be fine with letting people who choose to live in Mississippi and the like deal with the consequences if the rest of us can continue to make progress.

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
