I know a lot of folks say the states will cave to pressure if funding was cut off, but that would be a win- win for us here in Texas,Cut our federal funding, we stop sending federal income tax. Cut off welfare checks to Texas? Whoop-Whoop, dare them. then our “receipients” would move. Stop social security? Texas can go it alone.We can generate enough revenue to take care of elderly until the state could implement some changes.
If we stopped sending any income tax to the feds, they couldn’t enforce that any more than they could confiscate guns.I think most states could do better without filtering most of the tax revenue through the wasteful fed gov. give them the percentage it takes to keep the military afloat, and a FEW salaries, and that’s it.

I do beleive Texas may be one of only a very few that might stand up to the govenrment- I certainly hope so any ways- please please, never elect a liberal with hte idea that they are looking out for you- we’ve seen what happens when states elect liberals because liberal promise them things- it aint perty

That is a trait that is very rare i nthis country these days- if SS were cut off in NY or Cali or any otherl iberal state- the state woudl say ‘tough @$@#$ if you don’t like it- you’re on your own”

I hjave proposed that very thing several days in a row now for NY’ers to do- STOP sendign the government their taxes, and we’ll see how long the govenrment holds onto their unconstitutional laws- Their governemnt is FAILING to do their job, and NY’ers shoudl either fire them or cut off their funding until they seek jobs elsewhere- because they sure as hell aren’t earnign their keep in NY by failing to protect the citizens’ constitutional rights- but sadly it appears that NY’ers hasve no spine- UI’ll be truly trulty chocked IF I see the citizens band together and tell the government htere how thigns are goign to be from here on out-
