    California to form own country?


    Wait, didn't Texas want to do this? Weren't they called racist?

    Never going to happen.

    Two reasons:

    Medicare
    Social Security

    yeah once medicare, social security, unemployment, and all other services are cut watch them come crawling back hahaha...they cant even take care of themselves now...you think they are rioting now just wait till all those services have no funding

    Texas was shown that they could actually provide for themselves....ill need to find backing on that


    I would be interested to read what you can find regarding the possibility of Texas being able to be self-sufficient. The interdependency of the states (in Canada the provinces) and the federal government is such that that's hard to believe.
    You need to discuss this in Quebec...there are many there who feel they can survive on their own, of course I believe they've just used separation tactics as blackmail...

    Yes, that's why I was interested in an analysis of potential Texas independence. Nothing's been posted, though.

    I have no doubt that some genuinely believe that Quebec can survive on its own but personally I doubt it.

    quebec, maybe, but it would cripple the maritime provinces.

    i still find it utterly hilarious that the bloc quebecois is considered a federal party and given a table before the green party. such idiocy.

    LOL

    Typical liberal California. They want to dictate how everyone should live and abandon the US until they need other people's money. Get bent.

    It was idiotic when it was Texas, it's idiotic now that it's California.
    At least California has something to offer the world though, what does Texas have to offer?

    What does Texas have to do with any of this? Nothing.

    Funny California wanted out because Trump won the election, now they are begging for his help.

    What does Texas have to offer? Plenty of tax breaks and other incentives for business willing to leave Cali if they "exited", I would guess.

    Hmmn, I'll take that hit. I incorrectly assumed it was in response to the article that I posted just prior to the response.

    3. would cause a civil war. That's what happened last time states tried to leave.
    Liberals insist that the civil war was fought over slavery.
    if the south fired the first shots, why do southerners continue to call it "the war or northern aggression"??

    the north should have let them go and watched the south collapse on itself. would have saved a bunch of lives.

    Because the South wanted out and the North needed the tax dollars. The North then used force to retain the States.

    I don't get why this is such a debate. North wanted to prevent the south from leaving the union The south wanted to leave because of slavery amongst other things.
    Was it to prevent the South from seceding from the Union? Yes
    Was it because of slavery? Yes
    Everyone's right.
