Not following your latter point: isn't the flat rate for the higher standard deduction progressive?

Not really.

It’s subsidizing sparsely populated states that either don’t need to or don’t care to provide the state/local services that populated places need.

What does population have anything to do with it? It's based on income. The fact that more densely populated places have higher per capita service costs is the problem.
