Thom is on the money again. I made this argument to a red state right-wing supporter when savaging the SALT cap on Federal tax return deductions. I explained that it was uncapped before to correct for the fact that blue states pay more in Federal taxes, while getting less Federal funding and comparatively providing more services in their states than red states.

Honestly, I believe that rolling back the post-Clinton wealthy tax breaks and removing the SALT cap could help accomplish some correction to this dynamic.
