If you secede, you forfeit your SS and Medicare

[NYcarbineer]

Every nickel everyone in that state has paid in, and might expect to benefit from some day,

would be gone.

Did you factor that into your calculations?

They should also be forced to pay the US their share of the debt

Keeping the hundreds of billions they paid into SS and Medicare for ourselves will be a good down payment.

and no more Boosh phones either.

No one who has ever thought it would be a good idea has ever thought it through or even considered that there may be a few drawbacks. They just secede, re-enslave the black folks and before long they are all Kentucky colonels sipping mint julips on the porches of their vast plantation estates.

Well, that's one way to make Social Security and Medicare solvent for many decades.

I never figured I'd see any of it anyway.

OMG, the fucking slavery canard AGAIN??

Every federal office, installation, etc., in your state disappears. Every resident of your state holding a federal job is suddenly unemployed.

If you're in the seceding state and 60+ years old, you're probably already getting it. The checks would stop, immediately.

There's your privatization of Medicare and Social Security, in its purest form. lol

There’ll have no need for either.

In the rightist Utopia everyone works until he drops dead on the job.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Oh, all your senior citizens with federal pensions, including your veterans, they're out of luck too.

And the VA hospitals? Oops. Boarded up.

 

[NYcarbineer]

We can freeze all their assets that are in US financial institutions too.

Careful where you put that retirement account. lol

Nothing stopping a break-away state from reinstating slavery, I would count on it knowing the maniacs who want to secede.

They should also be forced to pay the US their share of the debt

considering Bush is from Texas that is about 16 trillion they would owe us.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Whether they like it or not, secessionist conservatives would be forced to finally acknowledge the importance, scope, and benefit of the Federal government, along with the vital services it provides; and how utterly impossible their reactionary fantasy would be to implement in a modern industrialized economy.

Every nickle is already gone, and they're spending it faster than they are taking it in. How freaking stupid are you.

Unless this is a wishful thinking thread, that is not true. Payments can continue after an individual renounces their citizenship indefinitely.

Oh great. Now SEE what you've done?

What if they find out that their highways and bridges and schools and military and fire departments and police are all paid for by the damn socialists paying into a communal fund for the good of us all?

Crud.

They'll never leave now.

I would do it. I don't need it.
