“TAX revolt and/or refusal to work.”

Won’t happen...but you might see some states start looking at bailing out of the union. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Texas looking at options.

If Texas did that you’d best move quickly as the would soon be millions moving there, including me. They would have a warm water port or three, access to the Gulf for oil, and no one getting in the way of their Capitalism.

If the Dems take us far enough in the direction they are heading, it CAN happen!

Seeing how our Governor has returned home from his stint in Washington (where he spent 8 years being abused by a bunch of ingrates he spent every waking hour making sure no one blew them up)we might just do that.

Despite the fact that Texas can legally secede, it would surprise me if they did. Texas absorbs more Federal money than it generates.

*ahem* If Texas were to do such a thing, there are “lots of people” in neighboring states who would be watching. :)
