Let’s see.
TX has 110,000 Fed ‘base’ employees, and 15 bases.
Calf has 360,000 Fed ‘base’ employees, and 33 bases.
TX has a ‘ 0 ‘, State Tax.
Calf has, 6% starting at 27,000 a year earnings.
TX has Sales tax of 6.25 - 8.25%
Calf has Sales Tax, of 7.5 - 10%
Both, leave the USA, at the same time.
TX, can Sell OIL, to the USA.
Calf, Wine ? (a Lot of States have their own now)
Movies? (Who Cares !)
Electronic Parts? (Why buy something from Calf, when you can buy that thing from the country, that Calf buys it from)
Peaches/Oranges/etc.? Lots of other places to get the same thing a whole lot cheaper, AND BETTER!
IF, they both left, TX would do great.
A Year Later, N. Calf would get REAL Tired of paying for S. Calf,
and split from them.
Then, S. Calf would have, ’Tourism’, left.
Until, S.D. turns in to Chicago, and S.F. downtown Detroit.
But it won't happen.
S. Calf, is so firmly attached to the, 'ttitt', of the Fed Government,
you will, NEVER, get them Off !
