New York should demand return of Congressionally authorized funds, with interest. And we should begin to think about how to create a federal tax strike. Right now employers withhold federal taxes on paychecks. I wonder if there is a way to decouple that so it doesn’t automatically go to federal coffers. Probably not easy, but maybe the state of New York could interpose itself somehow between employers and the federal government, holding that tax money in trust and indemnifying employers (1/2)

(2/2) against claims by the feds. It’s probably a pipe dream, but it’s time to start to get creative.
If the feds are literally stealing our money, I don’t see how we just sit back and allow it. We pay in far more than we get already.
