Tax burdens tilt coastal, and system’s fairness is debated. “…earning $250,000 a year in New York does not buy as much as it does in Iowa…” Boo Hoo.

Cutting their own profligate spending is not an option. When a lefty says “fairness”, it means somebody else has something he wants the political system to take.
