“Don’t lose sight of what these numbskulls are proposing. It’s not some noble rebellion against an overreaching, tyrannical government. It’s not about resisting overly high taxation. It’s about defying the current President and federal immigration law - nothing more. “
I don’t necessarily disagree with anything you’ve said.
And don’t worry, I’m under no illusions of who these people are nor their motivations.
Obviously there’ll be no secession, nor will they ever stop paying taxes.
All I’m saying is, it’s an opportunity. Utilize this for OUR political movement.
Agree with them on withholding taxes to the fedgov.
See what happens!
I strongly support a complete change to the way we fund the state and federal governments. I've been of the opinion for a very long time, that taxing production (labor, manufacturing, etc.) is suicidal to a nation's economy. I'd much prefer we tax consumption instead, which is why I find the Fair Tax appealing.
The old adage goes, 'If you want less of something, tax it. If you want more of something, subsidize it.'
The geniuses in our government don't seem to be able to figure that out. They're taxing the very things we want more of, thus penalizing production, and subsidizing the things we want less of, thus rewarding sloth. It just seems to be a hard wired level of stupid that practically needs a revolution to undo.
Thankfully, we now have a President who has just the sort of revolutionary mindset to get the job done.
As for California, I think the rest of the country will be laughing out loud at their folly in short order.
