Are you kidding me?

President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday ordered a halt to New York City’s congestion pricing system, which thins traffic and funds mass transit by imposing high tolls on drivers entering some parts of Manhattan.

Launched on Jan. 5, the city’s system uses license plate readers to impose a $9 toll on most passenger cars entering Manhattan neighborhoods south of Central Park. In its early days, transit officials say the toll has brought modest but measurable traffic reductions.

      States that are done with President Musk can just stop paying federal taxes, stop accepting federal money, and stop federal taxes from being deducted from the wages of employees in the state. Fire their congressmen and senators. Let’s do it.

        States don’t pay federal taxes. Individuals pay federal taxes. No single individual wants to face prison for not paying their taxes so everyone pays them. NYC banks would have to refused federal court orders to withdraw taxes from individual accounts. State troops would need to defend individuals from federal arrest for non payment of taxes.
