The Civil War was a war of two economic systems. The Emancipation Proclamation came two years after the succession. This is a history teacher trying hard to be polite...

I have a US History teacher at FSU who would debate you all day long.....

It doesn't change the fact that the US would not bomb Texas back to the stone-age over a peaceful secession. If there was one US state thatc ould successfully secede, my money would be on Texas.

Good luck in everything you choose to do, Peter Griffin.

Actually, I would bet on Wyoming being the only one that could. Who would even notice?

Glad I'm where I am.

I have the funny feeling you aren't an expert in California history and tax law.

Yep, I'm done here... Ben, you were saying something about closing this thing after the election?
 
I'm really hoping that Keys taking this argument personally isn't going to kill this thread. I think the thread should be kept open and re-titled politics. Too many good discussions going on in here. And I still don't feel like I've gotten reasonable answers to my questions about how health insurance companies are going to compensate for the sharp increase in costs they're about to experience. I'm also not willing to accept the argument that costs won't go up because more people will be (forced to be) covered. Costs are going to go up tremendously...and insurance companies will compensate for it.

And then I'd have to expect that the government will respond with more regulation...and insurance companies will respond with more compensation for costs.

What about regulating the pharmaceutical companies that charge the outrageous prices for the medications. Why is this not happening?

Really hoping this doesn't get closed. Hell...I haven't even seen any personal attacks in a while. Just people disagreeing with each other...which is a good thing.

Ben mentioned closing this thing soon after the election in a post and allowing the different topics to be discussed individually in off topic. I don't plan on closing it myself... but Jesus, succession? SUCCESSION?!? We are smarter than this discussion.

That measure raised taxes on people earning over $250,000 a year to prevent funding cuts to schools. from another search

A new study by State Budget Solutions places Texas third nationwide in total state debt with $287 billion, behind California and New York.

when I saw a post about how successful Texas is, I thought they must have a surplus, not the 3rd largest accumulated state debt in the nation

Nobody will ever succeed in SECeding. I do think it's hysterical that this is how people are expressing their distaste for the government.
