    Then stop paying Federal tax, THAT is a two way street. The entire taxing without representation is, if I recall history correctly, something that hasn’t gone over too well in the US historically.

    I’d love to see the Cheetos try this with California. If California were to stop paying, it would ruin the US

      The problem is that it is individuals who file taxes, and for each one of them to withhold them is a serious crimes with serious consequences. though technically civil disobedience, it is not the “block the road get detained then let go” civil disobedience.
