$ have to come from somewhere, with the Fed cutting taxes for the rich and benefits for the poor every other term, time for the states to take over.

Issue is not revenue, it's spending. Florida has 2x the population, yet half the spending on NY.
I cant tell if your suggesting Florida does not provide enough services or if New York over pays for theirs.
Spending is not necessarily an issue and can be a net benefit for the taxpayers depending on where you spend that money.

Thinking stuff like healthcare, education, housing, public transport, cycling infrastructures or even law enforcement.

The Fed (with a capital F) refers to the Federal Reserve which explicitly does not control tax policy.
