I would love for that, but they have to pay for services to help people. Especially right now when the president is playing favorites and refusing federal funding to blue states. It’s on them to use their state taxes to pay for programs. They are the ones that supported SNAP when congress failed, who will provide heat/warmth for the winter and address issues our federal government won’t. So until they deal with things and build a better system it’s this way .

well thank god for mississippi. low taxes! they just got rid of their income tax too! oh wait they get like 60% of their money from the federal government? with no plan to repay? and the income tax is going to get partially replaced by sales tax, which are a flat tax which proportionately is bigger the poorer you are? and mississippi is already a very poor state? so the poor eat shit and then get fed more shit
