That’s called fascism.
Time for the wealthy blue states to break away.
You don’t bite the hand that feeds.
Any state or local gov that is cut off from federal funds without a legal basis shouldn’t have to pay federal taxes.
without a legal basis
What keeps them from just inventing new bullshit laws, then?
Orange scared.
NATO chief calls him daddy once and now he wants to be “fatherly”
Insurrectionist traitors who should have been impeached, fired, and sent to federal prison don’t get to tell anyone how to behave. New York pays more into federal taxes than it receives, if Trump wants to kill Blue State programs he’s about to learn where the tax money comes from.
“He’s a radical left lunatic,” Trump said.
Says the radical fascist lunatic. Projection is omnipresent in this new Nazi Führer Cult party.
Learn to live without the feds at this point.
Yup.
It’s balkanization for the Un-united States.
Cool experiment while it lasted.
Ultimate toddler telling people to behave?
They bring in more taxes than they spend, “cutting them off” will only benefit them as long as they are smart enough to keep the revenue in state.
Dead Rabbits Rise!
The 19th century Irish street gang in NYC?
These people can’t stop advertising Zohran.
I know, stop selling past the close.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
*spreads attention to this matter*
Don’t Mess With The Zohran
Hi, Clevelander here. I have no horse in this race, but thanks for making Mamdani go from being completely unheard of from me, to now a household name due to the Streisand effect.
Thanks for letting me know who I’m voting for in 2028.
Globalize mamdanism
He can’t run, he’s naturalised. Bullshit rule.
Eh, it’s not the worst rule.
He can totally run against Trump for his third term. If Orange Chicken tries that, there are no rules anymore anyhow.
If trump remains in office beyond his second term it’ll be in the absence of elections
Supreme Court’s got baby don’s flaccid chode down their throats, so no rules for him but others unfortunately…
From what I heard from someone’s testimony, it can’t reach the throat.
Doesn’t mean that the justices won’t keep trying…
These justices are all pinheads though
Fox News ironically being the source to learn about your new social democrats
The oligarchy’s cries are the kind of endorsement that money can’t buy.
lol more like NYC stop funding the federal government. They give more than receive.
I agree with the sentiment, but it’s individuals and businesses paying the federal taxes in NYC. You’d have to somehow get them all to agree to put their personal freedoms at risk by not paying their federal taxes
Donald Trump knows he faces no personal risk by withholding funding, because the SCOTUS has declared him immune. He can break any law with impunity
Well, the IRS uses regional IRS offices which would be easier to disrupt if a large number of states such as KY, MO, and NY participated, and there is some talk of something like that happening soon in WI, NY, MD, and CT as a result of Trump withholding federal funding for programs which were passed by congress.
This definitely isn’t a battle Trump would want to escalate if he were smart.
That’s not at all how our financial system works
So, NYC gets about $100B in federal funds annually. I wonder how much they pay in taxes to the federal government. I’d bet they pay more than they get.
The problem is that federal income taxes are generally paid directly by employers to the federal government. It’s not clear by what mechanism states and/or cities might withhold them.
It’s true that the State of New York, and NYC are both large employers, so hypothetically I guess they could refuse to collect income taxes from their employees on behalf of the federal government, but certainly the IRS would still hold the individual taxpayers responsible for those taxes at the end of the year.
If it gets to the point where the States are withholding money from the federal government, I’d wager it’s because they no longer view the federal government as legitimate. I guess, good luck to the IRS trying to collect?
What would stop the IRS from sending federal agents arresting people on the streets? We’ve already seen ICE doing it without badges, uniforms, or warrants
This is the problem with a dictatorship. They have too much power. They can do whatever they want
What would stop
Guns and bullets.
Time to get armed.
What would stop the IRS from sending federal agents arresting people on the streets
I thought they fired all of them?
We will always outnumber them.
With our communications, transactions, and travel all recorded, and soon to be fed into AI for threat assessment, it’s going to be very difficult to organize without predicted leaders getting MLK’d.
Well, NYC has way too many policemen. Maybe they can turn that on the feds
The state is a pretty big employer, so that portion might be held back for a while. That would still have to be paid by the end of the year, though.
