We need a heavy campaign specific to each state that distributes the dollars on what fed money goes where and how those states that whine about government are the biggest takers.
If they want to get rid of federal government then they have to no longer get fed dollars.

Uh, it's weird that red states content themselves with the *smaller* truck in your meme. That's self-emasculation in their worldview..

It's time for the Blue States to stop funding the Red ones.

If worst comes to worst, why aren't blue states looking into withholding their tax dollars to the federal government?

But... But.... Socialism! Sad, as that is exactly that is carrying the failed red states of the south. That and a hundred or so military bases.

America is still trying to reconstruct the south in the other regions image. Ain't gonna happen UNTIL you get education up, job wages up, housing available, food security (basic Needs)
Funny how it was Congress that decided to have SO many military bases in the south after the civil war, preventive.

“Get education up” - how should the federal government force Red states to increase education spending in their states?

Blue states count for almost 70% of our nations GDP. Whenever red states talked succession, I always felt we should let them. No value add.

Not unless you wanna get jacked by the IRS given the gov redistributes our blue wealth paid as income taxes to needy, red states through legislation.
