The Insurrection Grows
New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherill isn’t going to let the Constitution or reality get in her way. At least not when it comes to taxes, rate hikes, whatever she thinks the voters want. It sounds like a winning soundbite for Evita Perone.
According to Politico, NJ Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill is floating the possibility that the state withholds federal tax dollars. It will be to protest of the Trump administration.
The comments from Sherrill were made on comedian Jon Stewart’s podcast. It underscores how she’s trying to find ways to push back against President Donald Trump’s agenda. Legalities are just something to circumvent. Sherrill won New Jersey’s closely watched gubernatorial race earlier this month in a blowout. The results were widely viewed as a referendum on Trump.
Sherrill told Stewart that she thinks about withholding federal tax dollars “all the time.” She said that it’s a “great idea.”
“If they’re not gonna run the programs, then what are we paying them for?” she said. “It’s like, you know, you’re paying us for a service and they’re not delivering. So let’s stop paying for it.”
Politico reported that California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s playbook. In June, Newsom similarly floated having California stop paying federal taxes. It never came to be because individuals and businesses pay taxes to the federal government, not states, reports Politico that the proposal would be difficult, especially since individuals and businesses pay taxes to the federal government, not states.
She thinks she’s going to freeze energy rates for a year as an emergency. She will be sued and there is no long-term situation packed into her method.
Sherill won with a hate Trump campaign.
Stewart rambled on about Epstein Files when Biden had four years to release them and didn’t. Obama had eight years and didn’t. It truly is a hoax and these three are not serious people. They are insulting our intelligence.
As the Epstein file debacle lays bare the performative nature of congressional politics, New Jersey Governor-elect @MikieSherrill emphasizes the importance of getting results for people. #TheWeeklyShow #Politics #JonStewart pic.twitter.com/VT2U0pKI89

Withhold taxes if you don’t agree with what the funds are used for; hasn’t the “Supreme” Court previously ruled on that issue? Specifically, that we are not “allowed” to do that? (We are all children in the eyes of government, after all.)
Given the Court’s past record demonstrating that its’ decisions are swayed by politics, “gifts” and the like, why should anyone care what the court says? Then again, we need some agency to control the out-of-bounds activity of the lesser courts. Perhaps the solution is to make it simpler to chastise, arrest, imprison, excute those judges – at all levels – proven to be abusing their delegated authority.
But first let’s consider this: if governors truly believe they can withhold taxes, certainly they also believe it okay for individuals to do the same? Why should we pay for federal, state, county, and city services which pay for things we never voted for, which are not authorized, specifically, by line item, in the various constitutions, charters, and the like?
When government claims functions which are not included in their founding documents, or not found in amendments, but are done because “the courts require it” or “it’s for the children” or “it will help grow the community”, then requirements to pay tax to fund these items is nothing more than theft. Especially when threats of fiscal and/or deadly force are used.
So fine, let governors withhold taxes. Politicians wnat to play games? Watch what happens when we all do the same. Including the use of force to defend ourselves …
Block every highway, train and airport into that state , no benefits from federal money or interstate commerce
Sherrill boasts of this on the show of a cheap comedian? That’s leftist propaganda at work.
The states defying Trump and beginning separation is directly in the Podesta plan. The escalation into the plan is beginning.
No court would rule that it is OK for NJ to stop paying taxes yet still receive federal support. No one is that stupid and corrupt to allow that.
“No one is that stupid….” There ARE RINO’s, Demoncraps, the legacy media, wannabe tyrannical judges, etc., etc., that ARE…
