“If the states would quit sucking the federal tit then FedGov’s leverage would dissolve.”
Easyer said than done, a huge share of the State’s tax payer dollars are taken by Washington as a means of bribing the State and its people into compliance with Federal edicts while also allegedly providing for countless dependence. in everything from healthcare, welfare, to education.
No State can afford to both pay for theses services thous federal taxes and pay for their own copy to replace them in State Taxes.
Ending the services and taxation to pay for them from Washington is ultimately what is required. I suspect the now lawless court could with the ‘proper persuasion’ be convened to do that for us.
This would thus accomplish two ends, the decentralization of authority by way of the leftest part of people losing respect for the Federal injustice system on domestic matters and the decentralization practical monetary authority from Washington to the State.

True, but then states COULD pass laws making federal taxes illegal- Denying the federal government of their source3 of income- We ‘could’ defeat federal laws easily enough IF enough states agreed to stand together
We the people ALLOWED government to take money from us and to call it taxes- We ALLOWED them to keep raising those taxes with the understanding that it takes a lot of money to run a government- but there is NOTHING to state that we must continue to ALLOW them to both take more and more money from us AND to saddle us with unconstitutional laws and violations to our rights-
Think of it this way- someone comes up to you and demands that you pay them ‘protection money’ You think it over, and decide the benefits are worth it, and you AGREE to do so (You still have a choice- you can say no) Then that person begins demanding more and more- and threatening you if you refuse (You STILL have the CHOICE to say no) Then they begin forcing you to buy their goods only, and forcing you to violate you conscience and religious convictions, and threatening to throw you in some dungeon if you don’t
You can do one of two things, You can REFUSE to ALLOW them to keep taking money from you and form alliances with other ABUSED peoples, OR you can comply and feel as though you have no choice- thinking ‘well it’s the law- therefore there is no choice’
I ask, is it legal for people in power to keep taking more and more money from it’s citizens AND to require them to violate their consciences and religious beliefs? Who would make up such laws? Only criminals would- Thieves, Abusers would
But of course we will all comply because there isn’t a large enough majority who will stand together against an abusive govenrment
