I play guitar, watch USMLR and NHL, occasionally brew beer, enjoy live music and travel, and practice sarcasm.

  • But it’s limited, because most of that distribution and transfer comes from individual taxpayers,

    This is the real truth of it. You don’t really have state governments sending tax payments to the federal government, they’re not collecting the federal taxes from their residents. You’d basically have to get every employer in the state to stop sending in the tax payments on employees’ behalf. And then every resident would have to also not pay those taxes individually.

    I mean, it would be an amazing feat and a really strong signal to have that much unity to do it. But seems really unlikely for any state-wide population to be that well co-ordinated and unified.









  • But like, she was not only a member of the Progressive Caucus in Congress, she was at one time a vice-chair of the Caucus, and she is primarying against Newsom. She used to be quite popular among the left when she was in the House for her no-bullshit attitude during committee hearings and doesn’t currently hold office. I’ve never really followed her directly, just saw those sound bites and haven’t heard anything since she lost the Senate primary to Schiff. Guess I’ve missed a bit. Would Hogg be funding her as a progressive primary challenger?
