Welfare recipients/per capita.
New Mexico (21,326 per 100k)
West Virginia (17,509 per 100k)
Louisiana (17,429 per 100k)
Mississippi (14,874 per 100k)
Alabama (14,522 per 100k)
Oklahoma (14,464 per 100k)
What part of abolish welfare (freeloaders) do you not comprehend? No more welfare, snap, wic. If you want something... then go to work and earn it.
That makes zero freeloaders. And with our timber, agriculture, and manufacturing plants we (in the red states) would do just fine.
There is actually very little produced in blue counties that is needed.

I swear yall keep forgetting about Ohio!! Lol Florida and Ohio are keeping us from Democratic rule forever. Ohio is booming under Republican leadership. I know Florida gets all the publicity, but Ohio is right there with Florida. We have fresh water access. We have an M1 Abrams Tank Depot. We have the largest Air Force Base in Wright-Patterson. We can certainly be of assistance!!

You're the guy who said to go to a blue state if you want welfare. I'm just pointing out that if you want welfare, prior to your abolishment (who are we kidding, the red states won't eliminate the teat their fat asses suck on), a higher percentage of your neighbors would be on the dole than if you were in a blue state.

We welcome the rest of the red states to come along. We'd be acting as the new South Carolina here.

Surely might can make right, but do you see “leavers” as being mighty enough? I don’t. I try to picture it, and it looks a lot like the farmers rebelling in Holland. It was fun, but when it’s over they will have lost because their government is far stronger.
So it is with us. Your second amendment pop guns are not going to sustain a rebellion against the government of the United States. Our one chance is to win the political battle for the direction of the USA, and it IS winnable!

Throw in Kansas and liberals can refer to us as fly-around country instead of flyover states.

Why is this even a topic of conversation at the Texas Republican issue?
Why is the even a topic on Tigerdroppings?
It's a complete waste of time and energy.

Because the people who are for it have this Pollyannish view that the US will say Oh well, Texas, best of luck. Bye. It will never happen. You are 100% correct. This is LARP Boys State for adults.

A coalition between Louisiana and Mississippi would control the exports out of New Orleans and essentially all traffic on the Mississippi River. You add texas, bama, Florida and now you control the gulf and all trading with Mexico.

What always amazes me about these secession threads is how triggered the progs get.
If the possibility of states leaving is so outlandish then why do they feel the need reply to it a 100 times? IF it is so silly then why not ignore it?
I know the reason. Progs know they would die like flies once the producers leave. They are parasites, feeding off of others work.
On the other hand Conservatives just want to be left alone. They don't need anybody's help to succeed in life.

What could replace Social Security in an independent Texas?
I've read several of your threads on this subject and I support your effort.
I'm all for states reclaiming their sovereignty and as many as see fit seceding. I would welcome it. If some then want to remain independent fine, and if some others want to then recreate a true federal republic again then I think that would be even better. But as long as people who are considering secession are worried about questions such as the two above, I'm not optimistic that a movement supported by such people has any chance at success.
The U.S. government would never willingly let any state secede. That doesn't mean it couldn't be done or isn't worth the effort, but so long as these are the questions people are worried about, they don't have what it will take to succeed. And even if they did succeed, if the people in the seceding states don't first abandon the idea that it is a legitimate function of government to take care of them, then all the trouble of seceding would be a complete waste of time.
People are right in saying that D.C. is the center of the problem, but it is an invasive cancer that has spread throughout the states and all the way down to petty bureaucrats in city governments. People need to learn what our founding fathers knew about self responsibility, live and let live, and that it is never a legitimate function of government to take care of anyone before anything like this will succeed.

Contrary to popular opinion, the supreme court doesn't have the power to dictate reality.
To say that the war "resolved" whether the people of a state have a right to secede, is no different than to say that if a gang of armed thugs breaks into your house and steals what ever they want, kills anyone who resists, beats you and your family to a pulp and then leaves, "resolves" the question of whether they had a right to do what they did.
Scalia wrote some decent opinions, but this has to be the most intellectually bankrupt statement he ever made.

I think India and Japan might be interested too. Also, Brazil.
