Just hypothetically, if a state decided to stop receiving money from the federal government as well as intercepting and/or stopping federal income tax payments, could they do it? What might the consequences be?

Please be respectful so that rule 5 doesn’t get broken.

    Nope. What they could do is tax corporations that collect them at 100% of whatever they collect on behalf of the federal government and then have a state stimulus payment equal to what was collected.

      That would mean that the corporations basically paid people’s taxes for them, right? Wouldn’t that just get factored into salaries?
