The 1st Civil War, through force, temporarily settled the question adequately for a Century plus.....The next Civil War will settle it again - with a different outcome, hopefully. Collectively, this country can’t survive with half [or more and growing] its population being net ‘users/takers’ of the GDP.
Not to mention that a significant portion of those takers are actually not part of the nation, but are in fact foreigners here without leave of the actual citizenry.
Sort of a recipe for fiscal disaster.
Oh wait, that already happened.
Next up: CWII!
A civil war is defined as two factions within the same country fighting for control of the government and nothing like that has yet happened here. (Historians and especially historians with an agenda are notorious for mislabeling things.)
