I’m pretty sure NY takes in less federal money than it sends out in taxes. NY could theoretically just cut the Federal government off in retaliation. Hocul and ny dems aren’t cool enough for that of course
Someone else mentioned this, but IRS doesn’t take money from states, it taxes individuals and corporations directly. There’s really nothing the state can do to disrupt this outside of something outlandish like making a law that all CA businesses are obligated to defy federal tax law and stop all federal tax withholding. Which obviously would get slapped down legally
