if Michigan or Vermont tries to secede, they will be crushed. They will not be allowed to get away from our Constitutional Republic.
California will be crushed, too. But i doubt they would try it.
The Obama administration: showing the American people every day why there needs to be a GOP House takeover in ‘10. Twenty-one months and counting.
I personally doubt any states would have the courage to do this, unfortunately. It's too late. More likely starting next year, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand will begin advertising for us to emigrate.
But think of what else a CSA II could do:
- A flat tax: after a fixed exemption per household, all income taxed at a flat rate,
- No corporate income tax, and taxes on short-term capital gains only,
- National gov't limited to defense and foreign policy,
- All domestic social issues and government "charities" moved to state control or to the people,
- SS, Medicare, and unemployment insurance replaced by 10% withholding into gov't bonds, in taxpayer's name, with no restrictions on terms of holding,
- Maybe a tax exemption for private health insurance premiums, or eliminate the employers' exemption.
Biggest lesson of American history is that freedom has to be taught to each and every generation. Last November, 54% voted to surrender.
