The states need to start keeping the taxes and negotiate something with the federal government as to how much we pay them and for what. I cannot pay to send innocent people to hell. Nope. Can't do it.

So stop being a simp and withhold your taxes. If you pay your taxes, you are choosing to support what they are being used for. People who whing but do not act to stop the evils they whing about...well, that's just collaborating, isn't it? 😡
