Gross oversimplifications don't contribute to the discussion, so it seems pointless to make that assertion.
There's an undertone of paternalism in the alternative: finding a way to force the issue in a non-democratic manner, through the state's executive power or even federal intrusion. I wonder if perhaps that would be more effective than a democratic solution.
Ha, good luck. That in no way sounds simpler. And the Governor of Oklahoma can't raise taxes on his own. No executive in this country has that power. And I don't see how federal intrusion would work, unless you're suggesting that Congress pass a law forcing taxes to be raised specifically in that state.
