    They bring in more taxes than they spend, “cutting them off” will only benefit them as long as they are smart enough to keep the revenue in state.

    Insurrectionist traitors who should have been impeached, fired, and sent to federal prison don’t get to tell anyone how to behave. New York pays more into federal taxes than it receives, if Trump wants to kill Blue State programs he’s about to learn where the tax money comes from.

    Any state or local gov that is cut off from federal funds without a legal basis shouldn’t have to pay federal taxes.

    Hi, Clevelander here. I have no horse in this race, but thanks for making Mamdani go from being completely unheard of from me, to now a household name due to the Streisand effect.

    Thanks for letting me know who I’m voting for in 2028.

      A talented artist should combine Zohran Mamdani’s campaign photo and the movie posters for “Conan the Destroyer” and “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” to produce a “Zohran the Destroyer” meme image.

      I agree with the sentiment, but it’s individuals and businesses paying the federal taxes in NYC. You’d have to somehow get them all to agree to put their personal freedoms at risk by not paying their federal taxes

      Donald Trump knows he faces no personal risk by withholding funding, because the SCOTUS has declared him immune. He can break any law with impunity

        Well, the IRS uses regional IRS offices which would be easier to disrupt if a large number of states such as KY, MO, and NY participated, and there is some talk of something like that happening soon in WI, NY, MD, and CT as a result of Trump withholding federal funding for programs which were passed by congress.

        This definitely isn’t a battle Trump would want to escalate if he were smart.
