West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice wants to eliminate his state’s income tax. Joe Manchin, West Virginia’s senior U.S. senator, won’t let him.

Manchin sponsored a last-minute amendment to the $1.9 trillion federal stimulus that prohibits states from using direct federal aid to pay for tax cuts. It’s turned out to be one of the most controversial provisions in the entire, enormous package.

So, Can States Cut Taxes or Not?






I actually think that Republicans should be on-board with this. Each State should budget based on what they've got. If they start cutting taxes because they're receiving Federal funds, they're pretty much making themselves more reliant on the Federal government and giving up some of their independence.
