Finally, some fucking BALLS

All the bots on this site like to shit on Americans, "Why aren't you doing something?!" And the answer to the stupid question is that individual actions are pointless and that if we wanted to do something, you need a rallying point.

This is that rallying point. This is the kind of movement you can get behind to tell the feds to fuck off. I've said it before, I served my time, and I'm not sure I'd serve the country again right now, but I would 100% serve New Jersey.

Missouri isnt really a good example considering MO tends to pay the federal government more than it receives. At worst they occasionally break about even. But the majority of the time they pay their fair share, unlike many other states

The state also pays a lot of people.

Announce everyone in your state will have legal representation if they declare exempt

This is the real truth of it.

There's always some naysayer in these threads with this tired aCkShUaLlY argument, and it is capitulative bullshit.

State payrolls are significant, any governor could easily setup an escrow account, divert all state payroll federal taxes to it, and use it for any shortfalls. They could then create a mechanism within their own state tax system and allow employers to opt in.

Presumably, the state stops kicking up the federal government's share. And hopefully stops collecting it from state residents during tax season, instead of just pocketing it.

Edit: it's probably obvious but this comment is made without any knowledge about how taxes are collected and funneled through government.

It doesn't. Politico, as usual, is publishing bullshit

It is unclear how such a proposal would work, and Sherrill’s transition team declined to elaborate.

The people aren't represented in the government because the government is bought and paid for by billionaires.

Funny enough the rich and libertarians will turn the tables when you point about legislations disproportionately favour them. "BuT wE aRe sTiLl cOnsTiTuEnTs". Yes, but with disproportionate influence that makes the rest of us poorer.

You have the second amendment because it was expensive to maintain a standing military at the time.
