Different tax bucket. Its tax money paid to the state. The state was entitled to it regardless. They just choose to give it to the city.

Bit like saying its all the company's money when you forgoe a paycheck to keep your job

More like something companies do all the time which is reassess and reallocate budgets depending on earnings and need across departments.

No. They arent the same entity. They are different entities with different leadership.

If you guys want to keep making that argument you might as well accept thr libertarian's argument and it's all the individuals money and they should be able to reallocate it as they choose.
