How MANY of us wished they would.. or could!
Well here's a guy that goes em better. He says the South and those who thought like southerners ought to be pushed out so the country would be better off.
That's be okay with me.. if all of Ohio from 50 miles south of Lake Erie is included. Or just Columbus and south.
Let's go back to just the deep blues seceding, okay? They can have NY, NJ, Boston, Philly, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, St Louis, the Twin Cities of Minnesota, Western WA and ORE, The SF Bay Area, LA County. All of Maine, All of Vermont.
Yes, that's ALL the main financial, Business, intellectual and Cultural centers of the US.
Oh MY! The rest of us would be left destitute and barren. Except maybe we could get infrastructure jobs for a while building a big wall to keep us out of those Centers of Enlightenment.
Okay.. as long as we get to keep them in.
Only one little problem. Who we kidding.. within 10 years, the 'New US' would invade to get their fled money back.
Here's the book in question:
"Better Off Without 'Em: A Northern Manifesto for Southern Secession"

I would not mind being subject to lesser taxation by dumping those parts of the country you mentioned.
