Question

Please Respond, I need help!!! If the US and Texas need each other and the US earns taxes, troops and oil from Texas and Texas earns healthcare, education, and infrastructure from the US then who benefits more from their relationship and why?

Answer 1

Well based on that statement there are many flaws as if to say Texas and the US are two separate entities. The US is a country and Texas is a state of that country. But here is how I would answer. The US gains troops out of Texas by having recruitment centers and integrated corps within colleges. So no, Texas does not directly give troops to the US. Also, oil in Texas in owned by the US its not Texas but it is under the state funds to regulate the oil and their employees. Of course though the FED government gives them the funds though. Taxes are also regulated on the state level but, in this case you are right the country does get the money from these taxes and we allocate them accordingly. No though healthcare depends on the states laws and the US gov gives them annual spending for the lawmakers to decide. Education is also based on state laws. As far as infrastructure goes this also goes along the lines of healthcare where the US can implement laws to fix certain aspects but ultimately it is in control of the states. They both depend on one another and thus no one truly benefits more because they depend on one another. Texas is the US and therefore it is the best interest for them to be successful. Maybe what should be asked is the tax output relative to the funds given to the state.
