@Prinsdam if a state wants Amazon HQ in their area what is wrong with that? Seattle has an Amazon HQ in their area and Seattle has some of the highest wages in the nation. I see that as a good thing. Seattle also is doing well in infrastructure. So thanks in giving an example of local government doing what is best for their area. Seattle also has one of the highest min. wages in the nation.
Areas are different across the nation. Those pushing for federal control are outsiders looking in. You look at some part of the nation and think "gee, they have it terrible, I need to create a federal law to help them". In reality they are fine and want to be left alone.
You bring up corporations which hardly scratches the surface. Again, it is culture. Some areas don't mind higher taxes and regulations. Others do. It varies. Have you ever lived in other parts of the nation? I lived in a state with low taxes that attracted warehouses. Guess what, the people liked it. I bet you as an outsider looking in will be like "gee, they are voting against their best interest" when in reality they are fine with what they have.
This is a problem with the left. They continue to claim others who disagree with them are voting against their best interest and thus feel we need a centralized government to direct them in the right path. One, that is not true, people are fine on the path they are. Two, I bet if the roles were reversed, if very conservative people were in control of the federal government and were forcing conservative ideas across the nation such as no min. wage, lower regulations, etc. you would complain.

@Prinsdam They are fine with what they have. This is a problem with the left, and a big reason why Trump became so popular. People are tired of the liberal elites talking down to people who disagree with them and going as far as the left forcing their lifestyle on others while calling their opponent ignorant, or racist, or saying they vote against their own interest.
You say coastal elites have a higher standard of living? The bay area is very blue. To own a good size home with a yard there you need to be very rich. Being raised in the midwest the concept of someone raising a family living in an apartment was foreign to me until I moved out west near CA. Almost everyone owned a home with a yard, including those who were "poor". And conservative states have the highest welfare? Not true. CA has the highest poverty rate when you include PPP. So to say these blue states on the coast are doing better is simply not true. Not saying they are doing worse, but they are not doing better. People there just think different. Many in the midwest love the more relaxed lifestyle. And they love being able to own a home with a yard as opposed to, at best, a tiny home with no yard.
And yes, the attitude of "not my state, not my problem" is legit. I look at other states and I don't live there, I don't pay taxes there, I don't vote there, etc. So it is none of my business. If have no business demanding how people in those states live. Just people in other states have no business demanding how people in my state live.
And again, you say those on the cost have higher standard of living. That is simply not true. I can argue those on the coast are jealous and thus they project by calling those in the midwest stupid when in reality those liberal elites are jealous of the fact someone in the midwest can live a relaxing life, own a lot of acres of land, enjoy time with their family, do not have to deal with traffic or homeless people, etc.
