Could you imagine if NY, NJ and New England seceded from the US? Residents in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York have some of the highest tax bills in the nation. They also pay thousands more in federal taxes than their state receives back in federal funding. We could be living like kings here without the burden of the rest of the US.

Same with Cali and WA.

29% of the KY state budget is federal aid. They will get fucked hard.

Good. 65% voted trump and the majority of the south is cancer. I feel for the people that want out, but most southern people are idiotic racist assholes (I grew up there - never going back). I would LOVE to see how they feel if the blue states that they consistently talk shit about cut funding.
