I’m not an accountant, but I’m pretty sure that entitlements have the FedGov completely in the red.
The globalist democrat and RINO thugs who have created our current illegal immigrant problem don't obey the law now and openly advocate ignoring existing laws but for some reason you want people to believe they'd obey the terms of any pact you can dream up.
Fine you either think the USA can go on as is or you don’t. If not then you want a bloody riot - war chaos. I get you. You want violence and blood shed. No peaceful secession or other solution for you. I get it.
There is a war on In This country between good and evil. The struggle is for the soul of the country. Somebody has to win and somebody has to lose. Splitting up into 4 separate smaller countries will only result in 4 struggles between good and evil.
By the way the EU is not a military powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination.
You might want to check your economic facts about the “average” economic condition before American Revolution or CW1.
The fact that a middle class was developing during the American Revolution and didn’t want to payoff the King. The slavery issue and states rights were the reason for CW1. People and industries were having a hard time in the south.
Why would four countries agreeing to split up then turn around and war on each other. That makes no sense.
If this didn't quite happen in our Revolution and Civil War one reason is that class divisions weren't quite so bitter as they were in Europe or Asia. The other reason (which might seem to be contradictory, but isn't) is that those in charge were able to keep a lid on the country and make sure that things didn't get out of hand. The Revolution and the Civil War didn't quite become race wars or class wars or religious wars.
But now we aren't free of the kind of deep conflicts that divided the Old World any more and we may not be able to rely on or defer to wise leadership this time.
The only way a foreign power would be able to occupy parts of the US is if we have a civil war.
For the most part those liberal states pay more in federal taxes than the conservative ones.
The problem with splitting up the country is that it would so disrupt the economy that everybody would end up worse off.
And dismantling the US would invite other powers in to fill the vacuum. There would be new conflicts and more power plays in the world, and eventually here as foreign powers test their strength and expand their power.
Name one section of this country that contains a like minded populace. That’s what you need in a separatist movement.
I think there was huge class differences like in the North where someone would/could pay to get out of the draft if another took his place. It's all built on myth building/propaganda. Fighting for "freedom", "our country/state/region", "revenge", or any number or things.
Ask an ANTIFA clown what they want. they couldn't put a rational argument other than what they're against. Therefore they are just useful tools to a more focused goal by someone else. They are so stupid and blinded by ideology that they don't even see it. Same with African Americans voting for democrats. It's sad in a way.
As long as we have cable TV for sports, internet for porn and games/gambling and pot or other recreational drugs to provide "entertainment" for the masses.....well they're pretty easy to control, eh?
Who would be willing to give up 3 warm meals, all the pot you can smoke, all the sex you can fantasize/participate in, and games to occupy hours and hours of your day? Nobody is going to do squat and risk dying and killing someone when they can live like well kept hamsters.
It's the fact that we are given the ILLUSION of choice that must be maintained. Pelosi, Schumer, Bush, Clinton, McCains, Kennedys, Obamas, Trump, and on and on are laughing all the way to the bank knowing that their offspring will be in the ruling class.
Want to know something really funny? The "Wall" is just a distraction. They'll huff and puff and scream and shout. But guess what? It won't mean ANYTHING.
There will be amnesty for all the current illegals in this country as part of the compromise and the wall will be like the TSA..... a show for the proles to gnaw on and pretend it's doing something.
Want to end illegal immigration? Make a FEDERAL law that mandates ALL workers that file taxes be citizens or have proof of citizenship. The IRS can mandate that just like it did for Obamacare.
But the kicker is this... Make it a FEDERAL CRIME to hire or pay someone thereby falsifying a federal document and sending across state lines via electronic or postal service. The penalty would be 10X the wages+taxes for each offense and 1 year in federal lockup with minimum mandatory sentences FOR EACH falsified tax return. So if it's monthly....then you have 12 offenses for each employee in a year. If quarterly payroll then 4 per year. Each undocumented employee would cost the employer at least 4 years of prison and up to 12 years in prison for each employee. The corporations hiring illegals would hold the board of directors and CEOs criminally liable for falsify and running an organization the aids and abets the commission of a federal crime.
That's if we're SERIOUS about illegals. Nothing like seeing middle class families getting locked up for nannies and gardeners to shake things up, eh? Of course the ruling elites will never get those penalties because they're just so much more important and couldn't be bothered.
That would solve the problem without a wall and empty out half the kitchens, auto shops, landscaping, maids, and service industries in about an hour....hahahahahaha
There would have to be a peaceful and acceptable way for conservatives to exit the liberal states and vice versa.
