If you're gonna cut us off, Trump & Co. should be prepared to wrangle the economy without the undergirding wealth of the blue states.

including bank accounts and real property, even before a tax evasion case is proven in court. What's a state going to do when its citizens complain that their bank accounts have been frozen? It's not just a federal issue, and states also have an interest in ensuring that the same SSAN isn't claiming benefits in multiple locations. The likely reasons are individual fraud or identity theft. Why wouldn't any state want to stop that?

So what "corporation" sends payroll taxes for STATE EMPLOYEES to the IRS?

to amounts distributed for federal benefits? And when a state doesn't withhold taxes, the individual who still owes the full amount isn't credited. For FICA, the amount also would likely not be credited to their Social Security career earnings. Amounts needed for Medicare eligibility wouldn't be paid. Individuals would be far more affected than state governments. In this game of the biggest loser, the individuals come in first.

and they are still at the "floating" stage.

There was some discussion here about CA - Could California really withhold tax money from the U.S. if Trump cuts federal funds?

And also some about NY (where legislation is actually being drafted) - State lawmakers call for withholding state employees’ federal taxes

Then Blue States can withhold federal tax receipts from the Trump crime organization. Works for me.
