Well, Well, Well; if Citizens of NYC or Minneapolis, or any other Municipalities within the USA do not perform the Very First Function of Government, that is to keep us All from Killing and Oppressing one another
byways of Providing
NO POLICE / or REDUCED POLICE.
Then it proceeds that the Citizenry have NO OBLIGATION TO PAY TAXES TO SUCH GOVERNMENT ENTITIES ! That would mean NO PAYCHECKS to Mayors, Council Members, Pothole Fixers, Sewer Maintenance, Firefighters, etc .
Money doesn't grow on Trees, does IT ?
