Trump on Wednesday signed a five-page memo ordering all federal agencies to send reports in 14 days to the White House Office of Management and Budget that detail funds that can be redirected.
Dictator dipshit is angling for even more red meat for his base, and with the electoral college it might work.
That's the thing - cities fund the rural areas. Blue states fund red states. If we stopped the flow of funds from cities to the country and from blue states to red states, chuds would be screaming.
Cities couldn't exist without the subjugation of the countryside. That means farm workers, miners, loggers, rig pigs, etc. If they all controlled the means of production, cities would be much smaller and much more expensive.

I mean the essential effect of but paying taxes is secession, so if you're ready to go to war about it, I could see it.
