Ron Paul: “Good News” That Secession Is Happening

Besides, how will those states replace the income they get from the federal gov't? I doubt any of them send more taxes to Washington than they receive in federal monies.


if the requirement to send money to DC went away, there would be plenty of money available to run those states with a balanced budget. Those "poor southern redneck states" would control most of the oil and gas in the country, the gulf ports, the seafood industry, and much of the agricultural production, not to mention auto factories, banks, and military bases.

The states you mentioned, most at least, get more money from the feds than they send to them. So it would be a net loss in revenue. For some it would be a significant loss. The other things you mentioned are all private businesses. Unless you plan to tax them more than they are taxed now, it would not help.

its not going to happen, but its fun to talk about it. Hmmmm, wonder if the people of Ukraine said that when they were still part of the USSR.

You're confused. The democrats who post those lies about net loss are talking about things like SS, & medicare funding. IOW it's complete bullshit. It's common for people to move to less expensive states in retirement, but that does not mean they necessarily earned their income in the state they retire in.

I agree that it won't happen. But some seem sure that their lives will be so much better when if it does. Like corruption and incompetence are not going to happen any more.

corruption and incompetence seem to be the cornerstones of most governments. The USA has gone much too far in that regard. We need to reign in the corrupt and incompetent politicians and those who ignore the constitution and our laws i.e. obama and his cronies.

we, the people, must retake our government if this nation is to survive as a free democratic republic.

The numbers come from comparing what money goes TO the federal gov't and what money comes FROM the federal gov't.

Where they earned their money before the secession is not relevant. They are now living in the south and have the income from the feds. Do you think they will go along with secession if they will be penniless afterwards?

I absolutely believe in liberty. What I don't believe is that we will have more liberty if the southern states secede. I also know we would have far more financial troubles afterwards.

And if you want to see corruption and incompetence, look at some of the state gov'ts in the south.

Yes it is relevant. Giving credit to a democrat state for income earned by republicans is as asinine as blaming republican states for federal democrat welfare programs in republican states.

I see. So basically you are saying we have no choice but to accept federal tyranny, because liberty is the liberty to be tyrants.

Yes it is relevant. Giving credit to a democrat state for income earned by republicans is as asinine as blaming republican states for federal democrat welfare programs in republican states.

Look, it boils down to this. If a state sends $10 to the feds in all the taxes paid, and then receives $15 in all the federal benefits, the state is not going to fare well when the fed is gone. Whether they are democrats or republicans does not change that at all.

You're still not listening. They were talking about rebelling against Obama's Executive orders that the people ignore federal laws written to protect the people. Ron called ignoring such orders, that are nothing more than Dictates from a self proclaimed Emperor, defacto session... aka. ignoring that which is clearly unconstitutional. The president should not be allowed to overrule congress.

Ok, then compare what the people in those states send to the fed with what the people in those states receive from the federal gov't and tell me how it works out? Oh, and add in all the federal funds for highways, interstates, bridges, power stations ect ect. Several of the southern states cost the feds more than they contribute. And I am saying that as a lifelong southerner.

Then take it to the SCOTUS and get it overturned. Pulling out of the United States is a ridiculous option to even pretend is legitimate.

Yes it is Ron, yes it is... Need to look up my old fire team members.....

========================================

Former Republican presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul says secession is happening and it’s “good news.” Paul later predicted the states would stop listening to federal laws.

“I would like to start off by talking about the subject and the subject is secession and, uh, nullification, the breaking up of government, and the good news is it’s gonna happen. It’s happening,” Paul, the father of potential Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul, told a gathering at the libertarian Mises Institute in late January. The event Paul was speaking at was titled “Breaking Away: The Case for Secession.”

Paul said secession would not be legislated by Congress, but would be de facto, predicting “when conditions break down…there’s gonna be an alternative.”
