These inequalities include the natural resources available, economic activities, and land values (Miller). If a state makes more money than another they stay wealthier because a federalist government tends to keep the money within the state and not distribute it equally among the other states (OccupyTheory). Perhaps the largest problem found in federalism is the confusion between which level of government should act on certain issues.
