Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Then stop paying Federal tax, THAT is a two way street. The entire taxing without representation is, if I recall history correctly, something that hasn't gone over too well in the US historically.
I'd love to see the Cheetos try this with California. If California were to stop paying, it would ruin the US
The problem is that it is individuals who file taxes, and for each one of them to withhold them is a serious crimes with serious consequences. though technically civil disobedience, it is not the "block the road get detained then let go" civil disobedience.
I'm pretty sure illegally withholding state funding is also a serious crime.
That is not how the law works, it binds the poor and protects the rich. Trump literally cannot commit crimes while president because the supreme court declared him king. He is allowed to kill you with his bare hands (he is allowed to, not that he can) and rape your children and that would be 100% legal, because he is president. So withholding state funding is small potatoes for him. Did you forget the long list of crimes he is constantly committing?
Easy solution. Trump can simply call his death squad into California, shoot some people, and get the tax money flowing again.
I'm sure they can mooch off of Texas and that will cover all the shortfalls.
