  • On unrelated news, what would happen if people stopped paying federal taxes?

    I.e., if all of california, or blue states in general, stopped paying federal taxes simultaneously, what would realistically be the outcome?

    How would it affect the US? How would it affect the states?

    And: Is there a proper place to discuss ideas such as this one?


    My (very rough) understanding is that people pay income taxes to the federal tax agency directly. From there, the central US government sends parts of it back to the states, to do things with it such as public services.

    Blue states are more economically heavy than red states. They pay in more than they get out. If they stop paying taxes, the US suffers but they get to keep a larger share to themselves? My understanding is very rough, it's just a rough idea.

    It could weaken Trump's government?
