No that’s not right at all!

DC should have no say in what state X or Y does or does not do for their state taxes, or what state tax credits they provide! Absolutely none of their business. That is up to the people and the legislatures of each state.

I’d like to think that the Supreme Court would toss this provision in a heartbeat, but... lately they seem to be going by something other that the actual wording or intent of the constitution. Very alarming to say the least.

"Government at its best is a necessary evil, and at it�s worst, an intolerable one."
 Thomas Paine (from "Common Sense" 1776)
