If Trump is not planning to comply with the law and send appropriated money to blue states, I don't see any reason people in blue states should have to continue paying taxes to the federal government

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.
