This explains why a Southern secession will be a winner! The South is the most economically vibrant part of the nation thanks to pro-business Right to Work laws and a better workforce not under the whip of union slavemasters.

If Southern states don’t watch the future benefits of their government employees, they will be in the same boat (regardless of who is voting for it). Here in NJ current services are cut to the bone to pay government employees who retired twenty years ago (and the future payments for current employees are much worse). We live with a crumbling infrastructure and crappy services because of benefits/services (if you could even call them that) enjoyed by residents decades ago.
