JUST SAY IT AGAIN, I DARE YA'

According to Hot Air the Obama administration is threatening the Gov. of Arizona, saying that if he continues to question their stimulus policy the federal government will withhold Arizona’s portion of the money:

"Barack Obama and his administration don’t mind playing hardball on the stimulus package, as Jake Tapper reports. Yesterday, Senator Jon Kyl suggested that not only should Congress refuse to consider a second stimulus package, they should bring the current Porkulus to a halt before it wastes even more money. Rather than make a reasoned argument for their stimulus package, however, the White House threatened to choke Arizona’s federal funds in retaliation..."

Here’s a thought; all states should withhold all tax dollars that they send to Washington. They can then ask their citizens which of the federal programs they would like to continue and do so at the state level, using their own money inside the boundaries of their own state, the rest of the states be damned. That way, if I like the policies of a state I can move there and pay their taxes to support those policies. I won’t have to pay for programs that I disagree with. I’ll have more chance of effecting change at the state level than I would ever have at the federal level. I know this is crazy talk because that would be too much like the founders had in mind.
