Open letter to my two corporate-whore Senators

[TaraJo]

They're not going to ever secede, you know why? They'd fall apart within months because they're all a bunch of financial budgeting wrecks.



Yeahhh. That's why we in blue states roll our eyes and start snickering while smirking patronizingly at the "secessionists" whenever they start bleating about seceding; it's like watching the emo kid in school who kept whining about how mommy and daddy didn't love him so he was gonna kill himself. And at first everyone was like "aw c'mon don't do that," but then ten times later and everyone just starts laughing and goading him to do it...and he never does it.

Once in a while, though, that emo kid does off himself, though.....

Usually, I'd agree with you because seccession would be a horrible idea for them. Problem is, the tea party has kinda taken over the Republican party and they aren't exactly known for making reasonable, rational choices. I mean, this is the party that thought Michelle Bachmann was a good representative for themselves. This is the party that bemoaned that Romney wasn't conservative enough. This is the party whose candidates turned the Republicans into 'the rape party.' So even if it makes no logical sense for them to leave the union, I can still see them doing it.

Another worry, as for that chart, notice how my state, Texas, actually pays more in taxes than they take in? Financially speaking, Texas could actually get by without the rest of the union. The other states might be able to do better than you'd think since they can simply drop programs they don't like such as medicare, food stamps or public schools.

Then again, if Texas does leave the union, I could probably get into some other country as a refugee.
