4. Other than some excise taxes, the tax money sent to the Federal government comes from individual taxpayers not the state

Just how would a Blue State be able to intercept all the income tax withholding and FICA payments from individual taxpayers when it is sent directly by their employers to the US Treasury ?

So, employees would have their taxes withheld from their paychecks by their employer, but instead of it going to the US Treasury, the state government would seize it first? What happens when the employee then faces Federal charges for non payment of taxes, even though the money was withheld?
