    The states never see that money though. It’s directly from blue state workers’ paychecks and never passes through state owned bank accounts.

        You’re going to have to explain how that can change. And how it could be done quickly. Because I’ll tell you neither of those are remotely true.

          The IRS can’t hunt down the current tax evading people even with state help

          If state enforcement stops helping federal enforcement and the state tells everyone to stop paying their federal taxes then short of an actual invasion by the US military there’s basically jack shit the fed can do

            No company is going to stop paying their withholding if they don’t want to get shut down. Don’t be daft.

              And who’s going to shut them down?

              Again: without the State-Level enforcement they currently rely on OR an invasion of any state doing this then there’s nothing that the feds can do

              Also: just gonna ignore citizens like that? Lick. That. Boooooot

                Me pointing out the idiocy of your “plan” is not locking a boot. Dumbass.

                The biggest employers in most states are huge nationwide corporations. None of those are going to risk it.

                  Man, that can be solved by the states doing that enforcing that federal tax isn’t paid or x, y, and z happen, resulting in you no longer owning your assets in that state

                  The issue is the US military, not corporations, if a state bothered to do something like this they’re obviously not going to just stare wide-eyed and open-mouthed as the corporations ignore the entire fucking Point. You might, but that’s because you love the taste of boot

                    So you ended up circling around and arguing for my point at the end instead of your own. Dumbass.
