Should California secede and become an independent nation?

[Dutch Uncle]

Yes. Yes they should. Tomorrow preferably.

Why?

It seems as stupid as Brexit.

 

[Into the Night]

Yup. And when considered as "sent to Washington" versus "returned from Washington" the dollars are even more skewed to blue states paying for the Republic...and red states sucking from its teats.

Aka known as the red welfare states who are unable to secede anywhere at being piss poor but to remain a ward of the U.S. and its Blue States and Fedeal government. The seditious and treasonous repukes in their welfare areas that prey on idiots who insist on voting against their own interests for the seditious repuke insurgency should consider shutting up or better yet the repuke Basterds should considerer self-deporting and preferably to hell, which would enhance making America and civilization greater again.

To which red states depend on California in particular.

Blue states pay more than their fair share. Here are the receipts | Column
Conservatives might want to be careful when they talk about “owning” the libs.

So, with all the Republican animus toward the federal government, you might think that red states get less than their fair share from Uncle Sam — that they pay a lot in taxes and get fewer benefits in return than blue states. In fact, the opposite is true.

A study by the Rockefeller Institute of Government found that traditional Democratic states contributed significantly more federal taxes per citizen than Republican states. Here are the numbers for some blue states: Connecticut ($15,643), Massachusetts ($13,582), New Jersey ($13,137), New York ($12,820) and California ($10,510). And for some red states: Mississippi ($5,740), West Virginia ($6,349), Kentucky ($6,626) and South Carolina ($6,665)."

Would Texas still have to accept the 60,000 California refugees each year?

Don't know. Not my problem, but I'm sure that California is happy to get rid of its troglodytes, and that troglodytes would feel more at home in Texas.

Nope. Texas doesn't want them, either. They shit in the street and California is already used to it.
