It seems that every time a state wants to do something differently than what the Federal Government wants, then federal money is withheld from that state until the state gives in.
Here in Louisiana just over half of the state budget is funded from the federal government, so it is easy for Washington DC to get us or any other state to do their biding by denying those funds.
If states choose to start Nullifying laws, DC will then quickly stop funding the state. The only way I can think to stop this, is to never give DC the income tax that they are withholding from the very people who have paid those taxes. This may be extremely difficult to do.
So, how would states start the Nullification process if every time they do it, the peoples own money is withheld from them, and the states can not fund their own projects? How would a state Nullify part of the federal income taxes if Washington held those funds?
I would not like to focus on whether these state projects should or should not exist. I’m asking for Nullification proposes only in relation to federal funding via income taxes.
