New York state legislators have hinted at using unusual tactics to combat the incoming Trump administration, including holding back federal taxes and leaving the United States to join Canada.
State Sen. Liz Krueger, a prominent Democrat from New York City who is also the chairwoman of the state Senate Finance Committee, proposed the ideas as state Democrats only have weeks to counter President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office.

Of course all the Conservatives that live outside of the Blue cities in New York would be pissed as hell and I can't blame them. It's a good thing for them this doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of going through.
Actually, we in Western NY are totally cool with the concept of NYC seceding .

The problem is the rest of the state is thrown in with the city.
DeleteI think states should have their own electoral college. Some states have larger populations today than the entire U.S. pop back in the days of the Founding.
That certain cohorts within the country have acted to fracture the country, I think they should get it good and hard, but not to their liking.
Not to balkanize the country, but to remove those who are anti-American. Of course, a country cannot exist with a country (sovereignty for indian rez is unconstitutional) therefore those people are put into prison for life. Or, forever removed from the jurisdiction of the U.S.
Grandstanding. Hold back federal taxes? How? Please tell me, I'd love to do it myself. And join Canuckistan? Really? Total bullcrap. But do try.

ReplyDeleteAlmost all counties in NY are Red. It's god damned NYC that keeps voting in the democrats. If anything I think the State of NY should be able to secede from NYC. Always NYC has taken taxes, ignored the counties and dumped it all in the city. Plus, as mentioned, they do love the counties water.
ReplyDelete.Whinny, loud mouth Liberal politicians like to toss bluster tantrums for attention. The ones you really have to worry about are the silent conspirators with lots of cash to undermine the system.
