    Trump would just do what Eisenhower did in the late 50’s - use the Insurrection Act to federalize the Guard.

    I’m all for a way to stick it to Trump, but not paying taxes doesn’t have an easy solution. The collection is done per person / household, enforcement can easily be done nationally by garnishing wages, and the guard can’t stop that.

      Bro you seen to misunderstand how payroll works.

      If I work 8 hrs and get a paycheck that paycheck only has deductions because the payroll software calculated withholding and withheld it.

      If I work the same 8hrs and my boss figures withholdings all they have to do it cut me a personal or business check for the correct amount and store the withholding of better yet the employee stores the withholding in bond.

      Nothing is magically withheld automatically and teleported to the federal Treasury.
