Texas Proposal: JAIL Any Federal Officials Trying to Enforce New Gun Restrictions

Ok, the Fed will stop giving a state money, but then the state just stops paying taxes to the Fed, so stalemate?

Time to form the Republic of Texahoma? I'm starting to think so. Any other state that is for freedom and personal responsibility can join as well.

Great idea. I just have a question for you. When did the states starting paying taxes to the IRS? I have a vague memory of writing those checks myself .

Employers send your withheld income/medicar/ssa taxes to the US Treasury every 3 months. Businesses do the same with anticipated annual federal taxes they owe.

The state doesn't actually send anything. It's the people and businesses and other tax payers that do. The state would have to make sure they stopped doing that to keep the money in the state.

It's fun to imagine that could happen but the reality is it won't.
