Explanation of Bill:
Right now we pay our federal taxes directly to the IRS and the federal government takes it and hold it over our heads to get the states to do the federal government’s bidding.
HB2810 is designed to reverse that role.
If HB2810 passes then we will all send our federal taxes to the state government who will in turn pay them to the federal government for all of us.
If the federal government should do something that the state of Oklahoma believes is not in accordance with the constitution, (there is a procedure for doing this) then the state can delay or even withhold the funds.
It gives the state government some clout by which it can protect the sphere of authority that is rightfully ours in which to govern.
