Trump says he’ll have Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley working on hurricane relief matters instead of using the Federal Emergency Management Agency
No they would need to pay them into bonds to comply with the Spirit of the law but not the letter of the law. When the federal government represents California again the bonds can be released.
Sure, but they can just target businesses with 668 form to garnish wages of employees, and if businesses don’t comply, they can fuck with the businesses ability to conduct national or international business.
California has its own ports, national guard and most of the United States naval power for that side of the planet. Again they can try, it’s all well and good to say on paper but once red states light up in unrest because the government tap shuts off things get real unpredictable real fast.
The national guard is the federal reserve military and Trump can override any governor’s whenever. And given that the armed services tend to swing Republican, having them commit mass insubordination seems unlikely.
No. The national guard was a compromise to remove militias and this a large part of state autonomy. They are beholden to the state first and the federal government second, the national guard can be called by the president and a governor can refuse the order or recall troops if the order is contrary to “actual service of the United States”.
Similarly military forces don’t actually swing hard right, they’re center right I’ll agree there.
Trump would just do what Eisenhower did in the late 50’s - use the Insurrection Act to federalize the Guard.
I’m all for a way to stick it to Trump, but not paying taxes doesn’t have an easy solution. The collection is done per person / household, enforcement can easily be done nationally by garnishing wages, and the guard can’t stop that.
If I work 8 hrs and get a paycheck that paycheck only has deductions because the payroll software calculated withholding and withheld it.
If I work the same 8hrs and my boss figures withholdings all they have to do it cut me a personal or business check for the correct amount and store the withholding of better yet the employee stores the withholding in bond.
Nothing is magically withheld automatically and teleported to the federal Treasury.

Sure, but if individuals don’t pay the IRS, they can do all sort of shit, including garnishing your wages.
They could certainly try but that requires actual enforcement and California has the economic power.

Bro you seen to misunderstand how payroll works.
If I work 8 hrs and get a paycheck that paycheck only has deductions because the payroll software calculated withholding and withheld it.
If I work the same 8hrs and my boss figures withholdings all they have to do it cut me a personal or business check for the correct amount and store the withholding of better yet the employee stores the withholding in bond.

You guys are just describing the opening of a civil war. Both of you.
