As a Leftist I've decided we should embrace the Right's Ideology of Merit
The Right believes in Merit, Capitalism, and getting a return on your dollar. The more money you make the more correct you are.
People aren't paying into the Paris accords? We out.
NATO allies aren't paying their allotment? We won't have it!
So I proposose that henceforth only States that pay their fair share into the Federal Government get to vote, and have Federal Representation in the Congress and Senate.
All States that are in the negative will be allowed to participate when they start paying into the Country.
So with that very fair understanding, let's take a look to see who qualifies for this new merit based Government the Right believes in.

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York are the only states paying IN.
If you live in one of the DEI states taking money OUT you are welcome to make an argument why you should be included in our Country's decisions going forward, but I really don't understand why we should listen to you at all.
You're like a homeless guy telling a very important CEO how to make money.
