    Here is a short list of prepositions. Which of them has to do with secession?

    beelzebob, the secretary of education is decreasing the quality of our public schools and giving more incentives to rich people for sending thier kids to private Christian indoctrination camps. Our healthcare is spiraling out of control because the republican terrorist organization wants to unburden the billions from paying thier dues. Let little Johnny die from his asthma, the Koch brothers don’t care, thier kids enjoy the best things life has to offer and than some more.
    This effort is nothing short of an attempt by Silicon Valley to dodge its due taxes. Rich people want to make money but don’t want to pay taxes. So they hire lobbyists to rewrite the tax laws and pay media outlets to sell this hooey to the American stooges.
    Remember that citizens of the United States of lobbyists when you salute the flag...
    some folks with a lower education value are getting lawful immigration confused with illegal immigration. You would be one of them.
    What makes you think that you should get a bigger cut of the pie? just because you breathe?
    hahahahhahahaha............take your cut and go away and count yourself lucky that we just don't build the wall on the eastern edge of CA....you guys sort it out, but without our dollars.
    You should probably take a break from the forums. You sound like you're about to pop a cork.

    if it wasn't for CA's mooching of federal tax dollars, you would resemble New Mexico..................you don't subsidize crap. WE subsidize YOU. Pull our money out, and you're toast. We'll pull our bases back, impose tariffs, destroy what's left of your bankrupt economy, and you'll be begging to be let back in.
    6th largest international economy..............bullsh!t................you can't pay your bills, so your gov decides to increase taxes across the board..........that' all on you guys for putting Moonbeam in office and keeping him there.
    your state taxes are worse than Florida, your union pensions have been destroyed, your universities run the government..............and your complaining to us...that is so sad...you should consider moving to Oz..they live the way you love to live.........

    The corrct word I should have used was proposition. If this is your only contribution here hovering like a vulture over a mistake, than move on please. I am proud of being able to write in a Langauge other than my native one and not using a spellcheck tool. We all make typos, weird people make a habit of pointing them out...

    i don’t know which red wasteland you crawled out of but my facts are solid. Here is another fact for you and the republican terrorist organization to chew on...

    —————————————————CALEXIT———————————-

    indeed this movement was initiated after the demagogue was elected and it gained momentum. The most interesting issue I want to point out here is a reference to the only obstacle California has to overcome in order to make this dream, dare I say, a reality. Water, yes California Produces over a third of all vegetables and two thirds of fruits and nuts in all of the union. The red wastelands resort to producing animal feeds and such, maybe you should start getting accustomed to having that for dinner. If we can solve the water problem, than this measure is feasible...

    another issue I want to highlight is the fact that California has contributed more to the feds than it has received every year since 1995... indeed, that’s many a red wastelands prosperity...

    then go........see what happens. You'll be taxed into poverty and still want to come back in...........You only have two major ports, we have the rest of them. So trade is not a problem for the rest of us. Bear in mind, the landscape has change with China..you'll pick up the duties on them, and we'll tax the hell out of you when you want to trade with the rest of America.
    Go ahead. I dare you to secede.............double dog dare ya, I do

    The experts weighting in on CALEXIT contemplated through all of these technicalities you mentioned. Again the only actual problem we as Californians see to our secession from the union is water...
    the spittle you described might be true in case Alabama or Louisiana wanted to secede. These once great states are now reduced to red wastelands, thanks to the republican terrorist organizations strong support for coal and other 19 century ventures.

    California stands strong and productive in the face of any hurdle that it may encounter. We are not perfect, far from it, but we can hold our own. you indoctrinated zombies of the republican terrorist organization will have to endure whatever waste the billionaires have dumped in your backyards. How unfortunate it is for a child to grow in such a wasteland.
    The candidates we vote for are seldom the politicians who represent us...
