    How does a state stop paying federal taxes? Is it not the people who pay the taxes?

      It doesn’t. Politico, as usual, is publishing bullshit

      It is unclear how such a proposal would work, and Sherrill’s transition team declined to elaborate.

      Presumably, the state stops kicking up the federal government’s share. And hopefully stops collecting it from state residents during tax season, instead of just pocketing it.
