Catalonia has its own flag and language, and various analysts say the economic crisis has brought long-simmering nationalist sentiment to the forefront.

Catalans complain of cultural repression and economic sleights by Madrid dating back centuries.

With just 16% of Spain’s population, Catalonia produces 19% of the nation’s wealth.

Catalonia argues that it sends far more in taxes to Madrid than it gets back in central government spending, and that Catalan taxes help support poorer Spanish regions.

The regions administer key public services such as health and education, and in Catalonia’s case, also the police and prisons.

What a shame that people in this country aren’t so bold.

It’s time to derail the gravy train.
