Politics: So You Want To Leave Now? Cry Me A River You Big Babies!

This is pathetic and shows the mindset and lack of intelligence of anyone who jumps on this particular bandwagon since once again you act without considering the consequences. Please go ahead and secede. You DO realize that by doing that it...
means you will NO LONGER have or receive the following:

No federal disaster relief. No access to government programs that assist farmers during a “bad crop” season. No access to programs that assist children, the poor and elderly. No social security. No government bailouts. No access to education grants. No military protection. No access to the US Treasury. No access to medical programs and much more. States surrounding you would be able to charge you to enter and exit their state plus charge you for access to their roadways, airspace, waterways and electric/gas/oil pipelines. Airlines can charge you international rates and do not HAVE to have a hub in your “country” as well as trains and buses. Phone companies can charge you international and roaming rates (land and cell). The Federal Government can charge you a monthly/quarterly/yearly fee for federally protected land, parks and monuments that reside in your “country”. Companies that you rely on can charge you for power lines, cell towers and underground cables. You will have to create your own currency but what will you use for collateral? OUR country has Fort Knox which houses our gold. Your currency would be worth $0 American. You will be removed from the US power grid which means you will have to find a new source of power, gas and oil or pay international rates for continued access. You would have to make trade agreements with the remaining states in order to get goods that cannot be manufactured in your “country” as well as separate agreements with foreign countries. You will be vulnerable to attack by foreign powers since you will not have military support from OUR country unless we CHOOSE to give it. Also, remember the people who do not want to secede would move to US territory which means increased taxes for those who remain so you all will "foot the bill" for everything a start up “country” will need. Even if a million people moved to your “country”, there would be more leaving than entering to take up residence since they will understand that they NEED these things and will not be able to survive in your “country”. Your people would have to apply for visas in order to work in US territory and would be considered illegal immigrants should they “sneak” into our country. You would have to buy the land on which you live since the majority of land on your “country” actually belongs inherently to the Federal government. Yes, by seceding you will be better off. Just ask the “former” Confederacy and Confederate states how secession worked out for them. Your ignorance astounds me! Do ANY of you have a BRAIN that actually WORKS?
