Is complaining about how much money your state has to put in vs. others that much different than complaining that your state has to recognize fundamental rights that it doesn't want to (i.e., someone from the south saying that if they want to segregate, they should segregate)? Seems like the same argument.
Well yes and I don't have a problem with supporting poorer states for the most part. I don't think the states are as important as they were back in the day thanks to technological advances.

But to me, it's like having a deadbeat brother-in-law living in your basement and having him constantly complain about things in the house he doesn't like.
