    Federal government taxes individuals and businesses. States legally can’t stop the fed from taking taxes.

    Sixteenth Amendment.

        They still have their seats in congress and the house. They are represented. I agree with the idea, just not legal.

        Also fine with California saying fuck this place and going on their own. Dont blame them, but this admin would probably roll in with tanks. Millions die…

      But if you can deduct your state taxes from your federal, then CA can set their state tax schedule to cancel out federal taxes.

      And Congress directs monetary spending, Article 1, Section 9, no Amendment necessary.

      That’s not stopping the President from trying to do whatever he wants with the money while Congress avoids doing their job.

      Let the federal government sue and take it to the Supreme Court.
