State Government

States retain autonomy over local services: state police, roads, schools, courts, DMV, and local infrastructure. They are not subsidiaries of the federal government.

Revenue

States retain a federally capped property tax as their sole independent revenue source. Each state sets its own rate within the federal cap. Property tax is the cleanest local tax — land doesn't move, it's hard to game, and it directly funds the local services property owners benefit from.

All other state taxes (state income tax, state sales tax) are permanently eliminated as part of the federal curve system.

Accountability

State auditors — federally appointed, independent of state government — continuously verify that tax revenue is spent where it was allocated. Road funds go to roads. School funds go to schools. Misspent funds trigger investigations with the same criminal framework applied everywhere else in this platform.

Citizens who believe their state government is misspending can vote them out under the same term-limited, no-donation, ranked-choice election system that applies to every other office.
