It's a bummer that New York City has to fund welfare for states that hate them so much, like Kentucky, Mississippi, and Alabama. If that weren't the case it would be much easier to fund transit improvements.
Those states would be worse off if states like NY or CA decided to secede one day, though I’m aware that’s nearly impossible to do. What’s crazy to me is that the states that contribute most are the ones most shitted on for being “too liberal.”
If NY were run by MAGA, I bet the economy would tank and it wouldn’t be able to contribute anything to the states that are already poor.
Everyone says its nearly impossible to do but MAGA keeps doing the impossible. JUST FUCKING SECEDE.

States that are done with President Musk can just stop paying federal taxes, stop accepting federal money, and stop federal taxes from being deducted from the wages of employees in the state. Fire their congressmen and senators. Let's do it.
States don't pay federal taxes. Individuals pay federal taxes. No single individual wants to face prison for not paying their taxes so everyone pays them. NYC banks would have to refused federal court orders to withdraw taxes from individual accounts. State troops would need to defend individuals from federal arrest for non payment of taxes.
