I’ll move to any state that secedes and vows to uphold the US Constitution, word for word. I highly doubt Wisconsin will secede. Texas, Alaska, Oklahoma, any state that upholds the current US constitution.

Here’s an interesting fact. The Revolution occurred because people were ticked off they paid the government taxes until January 15th in wages. I’ll see if I can find the source. That turbo tax commercial, the one with the founding fathers coming out of dollar bills, is offensive.

I can't seem to find it, I'll keep looking, but here's the data from 1900 through 2008. (scroll down a bit, it's broken down by states)
