Dem's should amend their demands for congressional reversal of every Trump funding fascism attack. So far that includes $18B in NYC infrastructure funding and $8B in blue state renewable energy funding.
Dems/DNC should tell states to collect federal taxes and fund their states with them, instead of remitting them to US treasury. Or governors should invoke that right in support of ending GOP shutdown.
As much as this feels like a great idea - companies usually collect and allocate taxes on behalf of companies individuals (payroll, income, sales etc.). I don’t think any major company is going to be brave enough to do openly defy the Federal Government and divert taxes away to state coffers instead.
The IRS is reliant on state level agencies cut off communication with the IRS and cut utilities to IRS offices and server buildings. Then strong arm corporations through similar methods, oh Amazon doesn't want to give the states the federal taxes? Congrats permanent road construction in front of all facilities and no electricity.
Law becomes you pay federal taxes to this state. If you get threatened to pay twice, state would keep what you didn't have to pay Feds, and can unionize against infringement of state rights. A union who's governance would stay open. If government shuts down, dissolve union and have new constitutional convention for states that want this government.
