So like charge everyone a “fuck the feds” tax that equals their tax bill to the IRS, tell everyone to SALT deduct them, and then just refund them all the money from that tax?
Actually I just looked it up it’s capped at 40k and goes back to 10k in 2030. Before 2018 it was unlimited so a state could have theoretically done something like that, or used the tax money to fund socialized medicine, or ‘nationalize’ industry.
Federal taxes (income, corporate, payroll, etc…) are levied directly on individuals & firms, so there’s no mechanism for states to withhold funds.
Salt deductions could right? Like if states and locals had to tax more than a standard deduction

They can withhold the funds from public employees’ paychecks though.
What if they just… turn off the financial internet???
