Guess Arizonans won’t have to pay their Federal Income Tax for 2025 then. No taxation without representation, right?

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.

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!

I mean... what are basically any states paying Federal taxes for, at this point?
Nearly everything the Federal government throws that money at... well they've pretty much stopped.
Oh but we need it to fund disaster response like- oh, right, that's all been repurposed into building concentration camps for ICE.
Oh but we need it to maintain critical infrastru- oh, right, that's all been falling apart for decades, unless its for a data center/bitcoin farm.
Oh but what about funding for the poor and homeless and Section 8 and - ... oh would you look at that, basically all cut down to the bone as well.
Meanwhile, the top of the income brackets for social security income taxes is ~180k. Which basically denotes the threshold between probably living paycheck to paycheck, and almost certainly not.
The fundamental system of funding would work fine if you just added another 2 or 3 or 4 brackets above that, but no, this is apparently an unthinkable concept, and we are all told social security just will go bankrupt and there is nothing that can be done.
Fuck that. Stop paying for it federally, do it at the state level.
Trump is currently busy invading Venezuela, and ICE vs just a couple state's nation guard units ... that doesn't end well for ICE, they are horrendously poorly trained and there are not that many of them, maybe 30k max for actual 'field agents'.
That's because she will vote to release the Epstein files. Also, the Trump-Epstein Ballroom is coming along nicely.
Release the Trumpstein Files!
