Federal government isn't much different. Notice how raising taxes - even just on the very wealthiest Americans - is completely out of the question for the Democratic party. So when the GOP is in power they slash taxes and when the Dems get control they refuse to even raise taxes back to what they were previously because a) they think they'll lose middle class whites and b) their donors don't like it.
