Actually its the other way around

I know its mostly red states that will secede - and wouldn't you know it - its the red states that use the most federal spending dollars for tax dollars paid!

The seceded states will then get stuck having to pay for all their poors all on their own.


About the only Republican state that I think would do well is Texas, because they actually only take barely more than $1 for every $1 they pay in federal taxes - the rest of them will fail almost instantly.

The fallacy of your troll, is that the poors will leave states that don't enable them.

Sounds good to me.

Also, the fighting force of this country is majority red state. They come with us, your utopia may be fricked.

That's because you don't count the individual mandate and the ethanol mandate, both of which forcibly transfer billions of dollars a year from red states to blue states. Since those are forced private sector transactions you use Enron accounting and leave them out on the grounds that the federal government isn't the middleman, even though the net effect is the same.

Plus how are you going to support quantitative easing, sweetheart interest rates for megabanks, and other forms of crony capitalism? Without that the Amtrak corridor would be destitute.
