I can't help but wonder......
« on: February 27, 2023, 04:29:40 AM »
Stumbled across this a bit ago;

and I can't help but wonder.  Considering that a handful of states are passing laws that all but tell the ATF that they're not welcome, or that they're on thier own, what might be the outcome if, say, Ohio passed a law saying that no resident of Ohio is in any way obligated to participate in the federal tax system.  Instead, raise the state tax rate, and keep all that money in the state for themselves, rather than having ther feds distribute it the way they are, and ignoring the very people that pay thier salaries.
I haven't done any research, but it seems to me that a state's sovereignty mgith be able to do just that.  I know, the last time a state attempted to withdraw from the union, it didn't go so well.  I'm not suggesting a withdrawal, but a cessation of financial support in the interests of the local constituency.

Maybe I'm full of it.....Roger

It sounds like a pretty good idea Roger but how could anyone even suggest a whole state to stick together for something like that when they can't even come to agreements and stick together for the border invasions? Crooked elections ? Misspent tax dollars ? Woke being taught in our schools ? ETC. ETC. ? American people are too soft and reli strictly  on their computers to do the talking and bitching . Nothing will ever get done unless action is taken. I have contacted Cornyn and Cruz numerous times and got one response back from Cornyn and none from Cruz. I love Texas but if this continues I'm sure Texas will go blue sometime in the future as well. Just a matter of time. Do I want to move ? Heck no. If I did the only places would be somewhere like Texas and I don't think there is too many states out there like it now. Until then I guess the only alternative is become a keyboard commando like everyone else.
