Declaration of Dependence
oooooh that is good, I can see it, but it would need to be financed by taxpayers, and if nothing else brought sanity to the idea you balance a budget and don’t spend your way into prosperity, this idea would in short order.
Those on the payer side would revolt, or as you put it, necessarily be physically separate actually perhaps physically surround the others so none escape the results of their Declaration, which would be instant uncivil war.
No one desires uncivil war, but why involve the party that knows the value of money, work, property, and human rights. Let the other party hash that out, and then maybe we can get on with life as it once was.
It seems on the face of it that this involves primarily cities/cesspools, vs those who produce and or provide the food and water that sustains them. It is unfortunated that many good folks live within the boundaries of said cities because of employment.
Great idea, and deserves more thought.
Don’t know how after reading and rereading that unfortunated escaped.
