The system is rotten and needs to be terminated. One man's opinion based on the facts. Please read the following...more at the link below.
Break Up the USA.
By Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
Some of our assumptions are so deeply embedded that we cannot perceive them ourselves.
Case in point: everyone takes for granted that it’s normal for a country of 320 million to be dictated to by a single central authority. The only debate we’re permitted to have is who should be selected to carry out this grotesque and inhumane function.
Here’s the debate we should be having instead: what if we simply abandoned this quixotic mission, and went our separate ways? It’s an idea that’s gaining traction – much too late, to be sure, but better late than never.
For a long time it seemed as if the idea of secession was unlikely to take hold in modern America. Schoolchildren, after all, are told to associate secession with slavery and treason. American journalists treat the idea as if it were self-evidently ridiculous and contemptible (an attitude they curiously do not adopt when faced with US war propaganda, I might add).
And yet all it took was the election of Donald Trump for the alleged toxicity of secession to vanish entirely. The left’s principled opposition to secession and devotion to the holy Union went promptly out the window on November 8, 2016. Today, about one in three Californians polled favors the Golden State’s secession from the union.
In other words, some people seem to be coming to the conclusion that the whole system is rotten and should be abandoned.
The system is rotten and needs to be abandoned.
Am I a traitor?

I've been saying this for some time here on USMB. We should just divide the country right in half: liberals on one side, conservatives on the other. Anybody in between can pick the side they wish to live on.
Imagine that. Living in a country with no liberals around for miles. Nobody complaining about our guns, nobody complaining about our pollution, nobody complaining about our immigration policies, nobody complaining about our low taxation for anybody, nobody complaining we need more social programs, nobody complaining about our lack of spending tax dollars, nobody complaining our military is too large. Sounds like utopia to me.
On the other side, high taxation would force most companies to move to our side. We would need to build that wall because the left side would be a heaven for crime. Nobody would have guns to protect themselves there. Their government would be broke because of their open border policy and endless social programs.
I'm for it. How about any liberals out there???
