It has been a while being in Finland with a band and playing shows. This one came on a rather short notice for me. Thanks to Litbarski I will be able to see friends again and meet even more people and play with wonderful bands. Right now I am packing my stuff and getting ready for what will probably turn out to be a couple of really nice weeks of concerts on an international scale. I would say it‘s privilege, but this is all diy: we owe it to our friends abroad and ourselves. It’s punk and that is how it‘s supposed to be. See you soon at the one or the other show. Be sure, I will give everything on that damn bloody bass that I have!

Questions and an idea for my #USAnian friends...

Your ~~feral~~ federal government is currently being commandeered by an executive that believes that it can rewrite the U.S. constitution via executive orders. One of the primary techniques they are using is usurping the congress's "power of the purse", by either refusing to spend congressionally-allocated funds, or by spending those funds on things other than congress allocated them for.

If the executive branch thinks it's fine to ignore your constitution and screw taxpayers with tax dollars, then...

1) Most of the feds' tax income comes from income tax and various #employment taxes.

2) Employers collect these taxes and remit them to the government.

3) Q: exactly *who* do they remit them to? Based on history, I would think this would be a state agency, who would keep the state/municipal portion and remit the rest to the federal government. Is this correct?

4) "Blue" states are, in general, net payers of tax dollars vs. federal services received.

5) "Red" states are, in general, the opposite - they receive more in federal services / support than they remit in taxes.

So, depending on the answer to (3), my #idea is: why don't blue states stop remitting funds to the federal #government? Don't steal it, just hold it in trust until the feds can be made to follow the law correctly.

I would think this would hurt the feds, a *lot*.
