No Blue state money for #RedState #Deadbeats and #TaxCheats —

Remember blue states taxes make it possible for red states to have no state income taxes.

Agreed. F Arkansas.

This crap wouldn't have been tolerated under Harris & Walz.

Stop voting gop.
Stop making excuses for voting 3rd party or not at all.

Good morning. Let me be the first to say #FuckMAGATs at #MackTrucks in #RedState #Pennsylvania #Allentown #LeHighValley area. #TrumpTariffs #YouVotedForThis #JobLosses #RepMackenzie #HaveABlessedDay

Good Morning! Let me be the first to say #Fuck @SpeakerJohnson in his #Evangelical ass with a stick until he bleeds #RedState #Red. He is complicit in the #TrumpMuskGOPClusterFuck #HaveABlessedDay

And on the health front, another child dies of #Measles in the #RedState of #Texas. Another accomplishment for the #TrumpMuskGOPClusterFuck and #KennedyJr. They love them #FreedomSores in #Texas cuz they're #Red

@mycotropic Yes, the @GOP is a death cult. But I think in this #NewNihilism and #Freedom they champion, it's OK if they kill themselves and suffer as long as they keep their death and destruction in #RedStates! #FreedomSores are a beautiful color of #RedState #Red. Besides, I'm glad they finally achieve their goal of #MeetingTheirJesus! I even told my little sister I hope she achieves her goal and meets him soon.

#Texas #Measles outbreak in the news. They sure love their #FreedomSores in #WestTexas which is #RedState #Red like the #Sores. They really like #Red in #Texas

Questions and an idea for my #USAnian friends...

Your ~~feral~~ federal government is currently being commandeered by an executive that believes that it can rewrite the U.S. constitution via executive orders. One of the primary techniques they are using is usurping the congress's "power of the purse", by either refusing to spend congressionally-allocated funds, or by spending those funds on things other than congress allocated them for.

If the executive branch thinks it's fine to ignore your constitution and screw taxpayers with tax dollars, then...

1) Most of the feds' tax income comes from income tax and various #employment taxes.

2) Employers collect these taxes and remit them to the government.

3) Q: exactly *who* do they remit them to? Based on history, I would think this would be a state agency, who would keep the state/municipal portion and remit the rest to the federal government. Is this correct?

4) "Blue" states are, in general, net payers of tax dollars vs. federal services received.

5) "Red" states are, in general, the opposite - they receive more in federal services / support than they remit in taxes.

So, depending on the answer to (3), my #idea is: why don't blue states stop remitting funds to the federal #government? Don't steal it, just hold it in trust until the feds can be made to follow the law correctly.

I would think this would hurt the feds, a *lot*.
