No, but I think the idea is that the state will collect federal taxes in escrow and then say they will protect the state’s citizens from federal prosecution. The taxes are there and collected but the state is showing its value to the United States monetarily. It’s absolutely not lawful but none of this shit is. Not in any good faith measure at least.
That’s not how the IRS works. Never has been.
It’s not feasible. What are you even proposing? That the New York State Government try and seize federal tax revenue from IRS offices in the state? Given how much money is functionally digital, I’m not even sure how that would work.
Might as well say they should nationalize the NYSE while you’re at it.
I think every reasonable person knows that it isn’t how it works currently. People are saying that it’s what could and maybe should happen. Individuals have an escrow account created and monitored by the state to send their federal taxes into. It’s on the individual to be correct and maintain a receipt but then it always is anyway, isn’t it? It is not exactly uncomplicated but it’s not impossible. I’m not arguing for people doing it, but as an extreme measure to choke the federal government, yeah. I could get on board with it.
