It is all a matter of degree. If YOU feel free enough, then I am glad for you. But bear in mind, we fought a war for independence over a 10 percent tax rate. And why EXACTLY is it that Yanquis are leaving the Northern states by the thousands?? It ain't because they like 90° heat.
I don't consider this current state of affairs to be called 'Freedom.' Not even by the relative standards I have seen within MY lifetime. I have watched our freedoms be taken from us for 35 years. How much longer will you be content to stand idly by and watch that happen??
At what point would you consider leaving??
It reminds me of the farmers in Zimbabwe. The writing was on the wall, and even if they couldn't take their belongings with them, they could have escaped tyranny with their lives.
I am not saying that we are approaching anything like that, but that is the reason you WOULD want to leave before things go to be too bad, and while you still had some economic power. Being a separatist with NO assets or resources wouldn't be fun, I don't think.
