    As a New Yorker I would like to see that orange fascist try. I can almost guarantee that if Zohran organizes a workers militia today itll have tens of thousands of volunteers tomorrow. I myself would happily throw arms with federal pigs.

    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.

      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

    So, NYC gets about $100B in federal funds annually. I wonder how much they pay in taxes to the federal government. I’d bet they pay more than they get.

      The problem is that federal income taxes are generally paid directly by employers to the federal government. It’s not clear by what mechanism states and/or cities might withhold them.

      It’s true that the State of New York, and NYC are both large employers, so hypothetically I guess they could refuse to collect income taxes from their employees on behalf of the federal government, but certainly the IRS would still hold the individual taxpayers responsible for those taxes at the end of the year.

        If it gets to the point where the States are withholding money from the federal government, I’d wager it’s because they no longer view the federal government as legitimate. I guess, good luck to the IRS trying to collect?

          What would stop the IRS from sending federal agents arresting people on the streets? We’ve already seen ICE doing it without badges, uniforms, or warrants

        The state is a pretty big employer, so that portion might be held back for a while. That would still have to be paid by the end of the year, though.

        I just need the answer on record. I’m fine with protesting. However if the sitting president can steal money from the people bc of party difference, yeah violence will be the correct response.
