You all it ain’t that simple…money. My top 2 sticky wickets: 1. Is California really ready to absorb the flow being cut off for reimbursement from the Federal Government? 2. How is a voluntary Federal tax strike structured? What banking entity will be holding these escrowed Federal tax payments?
The federal government steals $83 billion annually from California to support failed red states so I think California will be just fine with an $83 billion surplus every year. Every unhoused person can get a tiny home, free childcare & two year colleges. Also, Forest mngmnt could be revolutionized.
There’s so much we could be doing with a surplus. Universal basic income Universal healthcare Free college Combating climate change & wildfire management But those failed red states have more Senate representation than we do (6x over) We’ll never have REAL change unless we’re free.
🎯 this really IS it. The senate & electoral college have allowed minority rule for a long time. Shit, even the House shld have more ppl, since the # hasn't changed in 100yrs or so & we've more ppl now than then. We've so many undemocratic systems in place & the minority will not cede control/power.
We’ll have to wrest it from their cold, dead, bloody fingers.
Point 2: the Franchise Tax board of California would setup a holding account for federal funds and provide forms and the account to hold income taxes. That’s all I can say now because much more detail is needed, but if Ukrainians before the full of the Soviets could do it we can . -Sean Forbes
I would say that to question 1: it’s been said above. We give more than we take, there’s no federal reimbursement. It’s us paying for the privilege of subsidizing our oppressor. CDC is being gutted, there’s no lands management, FEMA is building concentration camps instead of doing their job.
