First, with polling a majority (say near 80-percent) don't want to be part of the US. Further east you go....less thrilled are people about this idea. Further west....more thrilled, but never getting past 25-percent support.
The poll? Done by Newsweak in the past month.
If you laid out less taxes? I would imagine there would be a shift....but still not getting you to the 50-percent point.
Second, if it ever went this far....it's more than ONE state that you create. I would imagine a minimum of ten states.
Population-issue? There's forty-million in total population.
Finally, you come to US states accepting this. I would question how accepting various states would be....like California for example.
I'm not saying this is a bad idea.....but it does provoke an interesting chat.
