All in all, it's the federal government's job to police itself. So governors aren't really supposed to be empowered to stop things like this. Anything they do try can reasonable be deflacted as outside their authority or retalitory.
That's just the way the system is designed. It expected congress and the supreme court to keep the executive branch under control. That is where the failure is.
That's how things are supposed to work. But it's not working.
I think it's time for governors to start coming up with creative solutions to shit like this (as well as federal taxes from blue states used to subsidize failing red states)
I agree it is not working. But the system is set up to prevent governors from being able to do what you want them to do. And since they are politicians and not real people. They aren't putting in a lot of effort.
That's why I said they need to get creative.
What's stopping a state government from levying a 100% state income tax on any citizens of said state that work at a concentration camp?
Besides the Supreme Court, I guess... Still worth a shot imo
But they have no motivation to be creative. And it wouldn't even take the supreme court. Federal District court would toss it instantly. That said, what makes you think the people who work there are even residents of that state. They probably only work there a few months before they are shuffled around to another facility. Non-resident taxes can be pretty complicated.
