One side gets 29 states the other gets 28, we have to decide who gets the 57th state
29 plus 28 equals 57.
Other than the math, it was funny.

California stays with us, you get Texas.Make the split of 49 states. I think Alaska should declare independence and shake off the oppressive yoke of the EPA and the greenies. China and Japan will pay top dollar for our resources.
Oh, and you better take Wisconsin to, in case the jews come over and need a place to stay. If they get grumpy, tell'em, "We're sorry, the mormon's already got Utah!"
Well shit let them do so but let us libertarians have a few states...I will take parts of the south say. Georgia,the carolinas and the virginias
Or maybe Montana,Wyoming and Idaho... maybe New Hampshire,Vermont and Maine...hell all works for me.
If the "conservative" states were to form their own country, it would be a theocracy with an even wider gap between rich and poor compared to what we have now.
The new liberal country would likely be an inefficient socialist state, abundent with useless regulations and red tape, but it would still have a higher standard of living compared to conservative America.
Bullshit, we get Ole' Miss!Dear Red States:
We're ticked off at the way you've treated California and we've decided we're leaving.
We intend to form our own country and we're taking the other Blue States with us.
In case you aren't aware that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast.
We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly:
You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.
We get stem cell research and the best beaches.[...].
We get the Statue of Liberty. You get OpryLand.
We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.
We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.
We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs.
You get Alabama.
We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states
pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms.[...]
With the Blue States in hand we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90% of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the US low sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven
Sister schools plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.
With the Red States you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans and their projected health care costs, 92% of all US mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.
We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.[...]
We're taking the good pot too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico.
Sincerely,

Dear Red States
You left out beach volleyball, we get that too!please Jesus, take California......that state is a shithole, by design, it's a liberal paradise.
Dont forget you get crime, aids, STDs, teenage pregnances, drug use, small houses (except for the elite), no cars or planes (except for the elite), governement officials controlling you tstats, your diet,
In fact if you look at Demolition Man, the pristine, fake society is just as I imagine liberalism......it only lasts for a short time.
Here is the reality of the political landscape in America today: the left has slid further and further left on the political scale and now the majority of the party is ruled by hard line radical communists/marxists/socialists/fascists, complete with all of the propaganda that ideology is known for. They are the parasite class that believes they are entitled to at least 50% of everything else other people have, and they will take it by force (well, they will try anyway ).
About 50 years ago, the golden boy of their party - John F. Kennedy - said two profound things. The first was that the only way to recover from a struggling economy was to cut taxes. The second, and more famous, was "Ask not, what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country". Today, anyone expressing that is viciously attacked by the idiot liberal dumbocrat as a "radical wing nut". That's how far off the sanity wagon their party has fallen.
So every day, America wakes up and butts heads with a radical ideology which is heavily uneducated and which is unwilling to work. And each day that is causing America to slip further into collapse. It's time that we end the war, part ways in a friendly manner, and allow them to incorporate their failed ideology (which will ultimately end in poverty for them like it has for Cuba and every other nation). Split the nation - 25 states each. Then we can continue the conservative constitutional path that created the greatest nation and earth and continue to thrive. There is no reason we should let their ignorance and failures drag us down.
What was the top marginal tax rate in 1961?
If the "conservative" states were to form their own country, it would be a theocracy with an even wider gap between rich and poor compared to what we have now.
The new liberal country would likely be an inefficient socialist state, abundent with useless regulations and red tape, but it would still have a higher standard of living compared to conservative America.
Not really, because that conservatie "theocracy state" as you call it, would pretty much be American until FDR....which we were owning the world, FDR fucked it up, but hey WW2 was a Godsend......

200k.What was the top marginal tax rate in 1961?
it was high.
Question...At what threshold of income would the highest rate kick in?

A conservative nation would have a huge, well trained military. But no cops or firemen, because they are evil "gubermint" employees. But their massive military wouldnt be allowed to enforce laws within the nation, because that would be martial law and that would make you a socialist Obama loving communist. So it would be survival of the fittest and richest. Huge walls would be built around rich neighborhoods, while the local poor fought amongst themselves for scraps (kinda like wealthy gated communities in shitty poor metro areas now).
There would only be private schools....cuz you know, teachers are also evil gubermint employees.
Cars would have no tags or insurance. DMV's handle that. And you know who works at DMV's....yep. Gubermint employees.
The roads would be built and maintained only through the private sector. But when a road was needed, or needed to be repaired, there would be a big plastic jug with a "Please Donate" sign on it, so all the private citizens could collect enough to hire a private company to build the road. Meanwhile...while citizens drove on shitty roads or dirt roads, they'd bitch about "why dont somebody do sumtin' bout these dad gum roads!"
Nutters are quitters.
Yep...the OP is free to leave if he doesn't want to be part of the United States anymore.
