Vermont threatens to secede and nobody blinks. The South threatens to secede and we have the Civil War.
Conclusion: The South would be missed.

imVho, the whole of the northeast (as well as CA/OR/WA) can leave & the rest of us would be BETTER OFF!
in 2004, a number of "celebrities" & some of the main-SLIME media types said they favored secession.
at that time, i said i would make a "special trip" to the new international border to wish them WELL, "good riddence" & ADIOS!!!

Alternate Conclusion: The South is easier to beat up than Vermont.

You are right, especially in light of the South paying 83% of what it took to run the nation. I wonder what the next generation will do when faced with 50% plus taxation rates?
