We pretty much have a unitary government and what has it brought us? A deficit we cannot repay, high taxes, burdensome regulations and there is no escape since they are nationwide. If the States were more sovereign people could vote with their feet.

ruveyn, we both live in the Garden State. I think its safe to say most of the regulations, laws, property taxes, and other nonsense we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis are the result of STATE laws, not federal laws. As New Jerseyans, we probably know this better than anyone else. So I don't understand why you of all people would be pushing state sovereignty, when you live in a state that exercises such sovereignty with ill results.
It's easy for those in the poorer, more rural states to scream "state's rights," and then of course take more from the Federal Government that they give. But ironically, it's the pro-union states that actually exercise those rights, and you and I live that every day.
