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.

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.
