states escrowing Federal income tax

[Anonymous]

In 2010, WA State Republicans proposed a bill to escrow WA residents' Federal income tax, and not fund unconstitutional Federal spending.

Its time to try again.

I heartily agree.

Yup. Soft secession.

But maybe as a plan B if things don't go Democrats' way next November and the following January.

The GOP is good at spin. They might be able to spin this in a way that hurts Democrats in the election. It's not enough for one state to do it. We need several, especially NY and CA.

If CA and NY escrow their Fed. Income tax the govt. Will come to a screeching shutdown.

They really need to. Because Trump’s just funneling our tax dollars into his pockets. It’s escrow or theft.

I didn't even need to get past the first paragraph. The states don't get to decide what is constitutional spending.

Functionally I really don’t think money passes thru the states? Don’t companies just pat withholding to the feds directly?

Sharp as a tack…

That is my understanding as well. And, if you owe/pay quarterly estimates, you mail directly to a federal IRS processing center, so no state involvement.

I don't see it that way.

This is a taxation and representation issue. If the federal government isn't going to abide by the Constitution and appropriations passed by the taxpayer's Congressional representatives then the States need to be able to control their own budgets.
