But for reals.

Can North and South Dakota stop their senseless war and resolve their differences to become a United Dakota?

Took 10min I think. All of the points were easily referenced as I have previously done related research in search of tax shelters and to develop future outlooks for the state for investment purposes (bonds/etc). Also, I type fast.

No but this is funny as fuck

People on the right were calling for obama's assassination and now people on the left are calling for trump's and it's accepted as being ok.
Texas wanted to secede when obama was elected and now California wants to secede because trump.

All I see is a brain washed false dichotomy to keep people fighting among themselves 

Deception reigns the world over
Wrapped in the chains of new world order
With perfect slaves who obey their owners
A silent war across the stretch of years
Society conforms to strings of puppeteers
A viral surge of words and bad ideas
The final purge heard loud and clear
The new paradigm, absurdity
System paralyzed, in the tangled webs they weave
The abuse absolute, like a tumor you can't remove
This cancer spreads to every organ
This prison we live in, mechanism of omniscience
Relying on uniform ignorance
Like sponges absorbing calculated indoctrination
Converting the nature of a sovereign nation
Products of neuro linguistic programming
Ritualistic transplanting
Leeches sucking bodies dry
Sheeple happy to oblige
Global construct of control
Omnipresent stranglehold
Constricting, contorting
Squeezed until your will's subverted
Insipid, distorted
Warp the mind into conforming
Our submission, equals treason
Persuasion, through fiction

It's all for the :lol:s

someone had to say it.

Without CA, NY, TX, and MA,  the deadweight states would die on the vine.



Here's another one that shows the data for each state between 1984 and 2005.

http://taxfoundation.org/article/federal-taxes-paid-vs-federal-spending-received-state-1981-2005

Any state getting more than $1.00 per, is leaching off of the productive states that are getting less than $1.00 per.  I know that is a tough concept for some people to understand, so i will give an example

Lets say I'm CA, Pris is NM, and koods is the Federal Government.  We each give $10 to koods.  koods turns around and gives me back $7.70, and hands $20.00 to Pris.  Try to consider how fucked New Mexico would be without California around to pay the bills for them.

right, and the state of California is part of the U.S.
In this hypothetical secession scenario, what difference does it make, in your mind, whether land is "federal" or not?  Like, do you think California would secede, but be like "you can keep the parts that are federal land" or something?

you're pretty down on California.  makes me wonder which deadweight state you live in.

It'd be cool if all the pacific coast states banded together and formed a new country. Nevada can come too, they're cool like us.

California is now the fifth largest economy in the world, we'd be fine on our own. Be careful what you wish for, we pay more into the federal government in taxes than most of your states combined. All of your taxes would go up if we left.

Still, I'd only leave if at least oregon and washington came with us, and hopefully we'd get BC and nevada to come with us too.

Also, in reality it's never going to happen.




you described my heaven
and I agree won't happen, beyond ridiculous unforeseen developments that would have to be centuries down the line... so effectively never

If you're informed on the matter, It's an asinine scenario that will never happen and most of your talking points are bunk. Paying 20% tax to the federal govt to be a part of the U.S is a gift. Its like people aren't capable of basic math.


And why in the world do you think California gets taxed? Because it has an insane cost of living compared to the rest of the U.S.

As for how many federal dollars it gets back given how much US Citizens who reside in it pay to the federal government. You want our govt spending money in the most expensive state in the U.S for govt services? Use your brain and stop using silly statistics that carry no meaning. California doesn't pay shit to the federal govt. nor do the corporations that it claims results in its 2 Trillion+ GDP. Residents aka American citizens pay the taxes.

As for what state I reside in : California... I love it and I'm paying silly insane taxes at the state and federal level... but you don't see me behaving like a rabid sports fan in defense of their state and idiotic scenarios.

Given a 2.2 trillion dollar GDP, if you actually believe that silly ass number California should be pulling in way more than 112 billion dollars a year in tax revenue. Most of California's companies avoid state and federal taxes and that lofty GDP reflects international profits that never touch U.S soil.

Get over the pipe dream ...
