Personally I have zero in common with any democrat. No common ground at all. They want to destroy me and everything I've worked for. I am treated like I am the problem but I've financed their socialism for over 30 years now thru onerous income taxation.
Secession is the solution where people are given a choice to vote with their feet. Better a divorce into two countries than the entire thing drag everyone down.
I’m curious what you’ve done for the cause. How much of your life, your fortune, & your sacred honor have you invested in your last, greatest, most desperate hope? Have you joined/formed a secession movement in your state? Oh, that’s right - you were going to bail on your state and move to Texas. I guess there’s more than one way to “vote with their feet”. How’s that progressing?
Protectionism. Unions.
The last time some Southern States pretended to secede, Jefferson Davis claimed it was to preserve liberty. Of course, when you read what the "secessionists" wrote at the time, in their own declarations of secession, you will learn that "secession" was really all about slavery and had nothing to do with anyone's liberty.
And, when you get a chance to study the income tax, you will learn that the Confederate States of America adopted an income tax for the people of the South.
Finally, as I've shown you before, the Southern States were at the the front of the line in support of the Sixteenth Amendment (our current income tax). Southern States were the first to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment because they could hardly wait to bring back an income tax.
When the Southern States pretended to "secede," it had nothing to do with liberty. It was all about slavery.
And, most people now accept that slavery was wrong, that it is dead and that it isn't coming back, ever.
