C.<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> Questions and an idea for my <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/USAnian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USAnian</a> friends...Your ~~feral~~ federal government is currently being commandeered by an executive that believes that it can rewrite the U.S. constitution via executive orders. One of the primary techniques they are using is usurping the congress's "power of the purse", by either refusing to spend congressionally-allocated funds, or by spending those funds on things other than congress allocated them for.If the executive branch thinks it's fine to ignore your constitution and screw taxpayers with tax dollars, then...1) Most of the feds' tax income comes from income tax and various <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/employment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#employment</a> taxes.2) Employers collect these taxes and remit them to the government.3) Q: exactly *who* do they remit them to? Based on history, I would think this would be a state agency, who would keep the state/municipal portion and remit the rest to the federal government. Is this correct?4) "Blue" states are, in general, net payers of tax dollars vs. federal services received.5) "Red" states are, in general, the opposite - they receive more in federal services / support than they remit in taxes.So, depending on the answer to (3), my <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/idea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idea</a> is: why don't blue states stop remitting funds to the federal <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#government</a>? Don't steal it, just hold it in trust until the feds can be made to follow the law correctly.I would think this would hurt the feds, a *lot*.<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/American" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#American</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taxes</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/remissions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#remissions</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/remit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#remit</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/income" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#income</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/spending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spending</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RedState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedState</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/BlueState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueState</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trust</a>
