So if the federal government isn’t supporting basic services for blue states, why should they send them their tax dollars? When only one side is willing to uphold an agreement, there’s no agreement.

Also 10 Blue States give more tax $ than they ever get to save 10 Red Shithole States.

Yep. Here’s the blueprint. open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

I agree. It is infuriating.

As I stare at my estimated tax quarterly form that I gladly fill for my state I agree that I don’t want to give this wanton federal government my hard earned “donation “ that they will surely squander on their nefarious plans. Wish there was a way to pay into a special fund to meet my responsibility

Because the state economies are interconnected so what you're suggesting is a simplistic farcical distraction, not a realistic policy solution.

Logically speaking they shouldn’t, but since states don’t act as income tax agents for the federal government, their capacity to do so would be limited to state employees.

They’re considering it. “The novel and untested approach — so far introduced in Connecticut, Maryland, New York and Wisconsin — would allow states to withhold federal payments if lawmakers determine the federal government is delinquent in funding owed to them.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Love that!

Good idea. I have certainly seen the concept applied in other countries.

Hope they can make it work

I am happy to see this stuff being tested. American people and their political system needs a hard reset. It clearly is not a working “ government of the people, by the people, for the people” anymore.

Please make it happen.

Fingers crossed that my state, California, joins them! I think it’s reasonably likely.

And New Mexico 🙂

IT IS TIME to acknowledge that normal rules no longer apply. It's actually been that way for some time, ie, Dems playing by the rules while the GOP has thrown out the rules book and make it up as they go. Time to start using their playbook against them. Fight 🔥 with 🔥‼️

EVIL FORKING FASCISTS DICTATOR BELONGS IN HELL!
