It is not a radical idea. That type of massive wealth transfer is only possible on the federal level, where it simply has no political chance.

All the non federal governments can do is like removing bus stops (or letting drug addicted communities flourish when the pendulum swings the other way).

Welp, we don't have the political capital, guess we can't fix anything, only thing left to do is beat the shit out of poor people in the streets. Society!

The problem is lack of economic capital at the non federal level since there is no way to control immigration.

The solution is canvassing, campaigning, voting, and running for federal office where that change can be affected.
