Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Republic of California
New California Republic (or NCR for short)
and now for the anthem:
wp:I Love You, California
wc:File:"I Love You, California", by Knickerbocker Quartet and Elizabeth Spencer (cusb-cyl5053d).oga
I.
I love you, California, you're the greatest state of all.
I love you in the winter, summer, spring and in the fall.
I love your fertile valleys; your dear mountains I adore.
I love your grand old ocean and I love her rugged shore.
Chorus
When the snow crowned Golden Sierras
Keep their watch o'er the valleys bloom,
It is there I would be in our land by the sea,
Every breeze bearing rich perfume.
It is here nature gives of her rarest. It is Home Sweet Home to me,
And I know when I die I shall breathe my last sigh
For my sunny California.
Please. We all know this is the real anthem of California.
Nancy Sinatra - California Girls

Taxes are paid by individuals directly to the federal government. If an individual doesn't pay their federal tax, the federal government goes after that individual. The federal government will take an individual's money right out of their bank account. There's no way for the state to withhold federal payments.
State taxes are filed separately and don't go to the federal government.
I think you need to explain it. Because the vast majority of federal income is from federal income taxes which the state has absolutely no ability to stop. It's between the federal government and the citizen. If the State of California secedes the people still have bank accounts that the federal government will seize.
No they don't. Keep it all up. Republicans currently in power have destroyed their parties future.
Since coming to power the damage that has been done to the right has shifted western democracies so hard left they are getting whiplash.
