I was just going to say the same thing.

States can get all upset and say they want to split off... until they need all of the federal money they get. Although if a state split off I suppose then they could suck up all of the federal taxes that its residents are paying... though I doubt that would be enough.

How much money does a state like New Hampshire get from the federal government versus how much its residents pay the federal government? I'm not sure but I am willing to bet that some states pay more than their share...
