re: Crimea is about to secede from Ukraine (frigging spelling)

Texas sends about $1.6 million more to Washington than it gets from Washington (the only red state which sends more than it receives). This works out to $.06 per resident...assuming that 50% of residents do not pay any taxes that would mean a refund of $.12 annually. I think most of the rest of the US would gladly pay every tax payer in Texas 12 cents a year to no longer call themselves Americans...hell I would gladly foot the bill for 10,000 Texans every year my self.

Jesus, you are such an incredibly ignorant jackass. First, comparing Crimea to SW US is nonsensical. There is no popular movement to merge SW US with Mexico. While the majority of Hispanics in the SW are of Mexican descent, there are large contingents of Hispanics that not of Mexican ethnicity. Only about 33-40% of the SW is Hispanic compared to about 2/3 of the Crimean Region being ethnic Russian. Finally, Crimea was under Russian control a generation ago as opposed to the SW US where the majority was never under Mexican control and the parts that were were generations ago.

And I'm sure the US would benefit from segregating the largest oil refining region of the country.
