Why Are We Still There?
Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on TV
there are photos of death and destruction. We occupied this land, which
we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble. Many of
our children go there and never come back. Their government is unstable,
and they have loopy leadership. Many of their people are uncivilized.
The place is subject to natural disasters, which we are supposed to bail
them out of. There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do not
understand. Their folkways, foods and fads are unfathomable to ordinary
Americans. We can't even secure the borders from those who come to make
trouble or get a handout. They are billions of dollars in debt and it
will cost billions more to rebuild, which we can't afford. It is
becoming very clear!..............
WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA

Please do. I would love to see CA secede from the U.S. We'd probably take OR, WA, and HI with us... but that would be up to them. |

Yes, the federal government should bail us out when we have a natural disaster, as it should every single state. Interestingly, CA has one of the lowest returns on Federal Tax Dollar at just $0.79. Most other states are well above a $1.00, Alabama is at $1.66. Maybe if we got a better return for each Federal Tax Dollar, we wouldn't be in the hole we're in. |
