Secession does not solve every problem, it just substitutes a new more manageable set of problems for the insurmountable problems created by an out of control FedGov™.

Unless you implement meaningful voting reforms it won't solve any problem except in the shortest of terms.

Basically, no one should be allowed to vote who has a tap into the public treasury. It is a conflict of interest.

Interesting approach. The government party could then mail a penny to each citizen of the opposing party to disenfranchise them. After they voted, that penny could be used to incarcerate them.

No, better for each interest to keep others in check. I would like to see the Senate rule on ending debate be made constitutional. That powerful check on the majority should have a more firm foundation than a mere rule established by majority vote.

In the long run, we are limited by math and physics, but still more by psychology. Other countries won’t loan us money if we can’t possibly repay it. At that point the promises made by the socialists will not be kept. Something that can’t go on forever won’t.

England has seen 2/3rds of its millionaires leave since they raised their taxes to 50% level. France will see the same thing as they move their tax level to 75%. Atlas will shrug. Pain will happen.

The burned hand teaches best.
