Suggestion if possible

For each state that Dump cuts off federal funding to, why aren't these states cutting off funding to the federal government? As in Federal taxes sent to Washington. Why continue to fund this out of control, fascist administration? Let those freeloading red states fund the government.

1. How would you accomplish that???? The Feds collect their taxes independent of the states.

2. Payroll admin here

When Federal tax, SS and Medicare come out of your pay, the $, along with the employers match on SS and Medicare, gets ACH’d to a bank which sends it to the IRS. Trust me if that payment is late (and they don’t give you much time) the IRS doesn’t get mad, they get even. It’s not a matter of states sending $ to the federal government, its employers.

8. I use to do payroll also

And those penalties for being late are huge…

10. Thats not difficult to change though

States could control where the federal $ goes bank wise. Plus, the largest employer in almost every state is the state itself. Penalties could accrue but then again the states could fix that legally. States have state laws. Since we're already in lala land to begin with here with Trump using the government to withhold funds to blue states, why not have the States pass laws to prohibit those fines? The problem here is that you guys are thinking logically like Democrats. Think like Republicans (irrationally). Don't tell me that federal laws overrule state laws. You're not solving the problem.

14. Just thinking of the mechanics of it

I absolutely agree that states should be able to withhold funds, but it’s not as easy as people think.

5. Not true

The taxes are collected by the State and then ushered to the federal government.

3. Because if a state somehow manages to steal tax dollars intended for the federal government

Individuals and businesses will still owe what they owe, only now with interest and penalties.

4. Not true

Once the tax is collected by the State, it's.....collected.

[tritsofme]

7. Huh? That is just nonsense.

[ABC123Easy]

9. Okay

I can do that too.

That's just nonsense.

[tritsofme]

13. A state stealing tax dollars intended for the federal government doesn't make the federal tax liability for those

individuals or businesses magically disappear. It’s hard to tell if you are actually being serious here.

6. To the replies so far

Check on the title of my post and notice it says, "if possible". I'm not saying it's going to happen.

[Iggo]

11. But you pooped on the first person to tell you it might not be.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t get any more takers.

[ABC123Easy]

12. Well

I already knew it wasn't going to happen. It was just a hypothetical. And the first person didn't read the title.
If no one wants to reply, that's cool. I have no problem with it. It was just a fantasy hypothetical.
