William F. Buckley once noted that he was 19 when the Cold War began at the Yalta conference. The year the Berlin Wall came down, he became a senior citizen. In other words, he explained, anti-Communism was a defining feature of conservatism his entire adult life. Domestically, meanwhile, the right was largely a "leave me alone coalition": Religious and traditional conservatives, overtaxed businessmen, Western libertarians, and others fed up with government social engineering and economic folly. The foreign policy battle against tyrannical statism abroad only buttressed the domestic antagonism toward well-intentioned and occasionally democratic statism at home.

If The Federal Government takes 100 dollars from my neighborhood in taxes and then "doles" it out to the "needy" $75 is taken out for processing fees, redistribution costs and federal/state employee benefits and pensions. The remaining $25 is allocated to my neighbors in need. It is more fiscally sound to KEEP money in localities and let the full amount be dispensed to the "needy" who are actually known by their neighbors. Hence the States take care of themselves and the Federal government take their direction from us, their employers, the States.
