    So successful business people all live down south?

      It's only the Right Wingers that tend to be trying to secede every time their guy loses. It will never happen so I'm not really worried about it and I was just giving a opinion on if they could be successful or not. IMO Texas as I said would be the only state that could be successful and that's only if they did it on their own and not as part of a "group".

      Personally, I wish the Right would pull their heads out of their asses and regain some common sense, because it would be better for the country as a whole. Instead they just keep pushing to divide the country further.. so as George Bush said.. "Either you're with us or against us".

      Given the two choices, I'm against them until they bring back some sanity to their little political party.
      In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

        sorry - but usually it's just trash talking the EU and the Euro with no substantial reason. i am still waiting for someone who can prove me that the EU made his life worse
        We just got a new government last week, their new policies involve huge tax increases.
        There was a proposal which could be ending up to 500 euro a month in additional taxes depending on your situation. That proposal stranded already within a week.

        But take the economy figures from Switzerland and Sweden (both not maintaining the euro) and compare these to your own country.

          I don't think it would ever happen, the Fed won't allow it, but I do think it would work if one or some of the States at the balls to do it.

          I don't mean with a currency. I meant the large land mass divided up among smaller countries, instead of one large country with a lot of smaller states.

            There was also a recall in California. Remember the rise of the Governator? haha.
            Recall != grandstanding secession buttsore.

              500 Euro in what case - when you earn 10.000 Euro a month or more?

              and you're sure that this is the fault of the EU and not previous governments spending more than they took in?

              anyways - people easily blame the EU and totally forget that a huge part of our wealth and freedom today is a result of the EU

I've never been much for taking sides until seeing what's been taking place with the right in the last few years. It looks like there's a shift toward more progressive thinking and that's for the better. Bill Maher said on his program the other night "we can be Canada, except with nukes".
                        Bill Maher does realize that Canada is currently lead by a conservative government doesn't he?

                        Shifting to more "progressive" thinking in not necessarily a good thing. California is arguably the most progressive state in the US and it will likely be the first to collapse under all of it's own bloated weight bringing the rest of the country down with it. All of the so called progress will be lost when the economy ceases to function.

                          I was talking progressive more along social lines. I think a balance of both approaches is needed to for economic success.

                            Progressive versus regressive is the new liberal versus conservative.
                            Cat's out of the bag on that.

                              I think you will find a collapsed economy to be far more regressive than any conservative politician or policy could ever be.

                                Don't think it's so much that he's black as socialism is only popular in certain areas of the US and you know damn well if obama and a lot of democrats could pull it off they would take everyones income and just issue people an allowance in the name of "fairness"
