The guy sounds like a complete retard. I say let those fucks break off from the Union. They'll either go to war with Mexico or dissolve into fractious city-states inside of 10 years.

Well, actually I somewhat support what they are saying. On one hand states should have the right to spend their tax dollars how they want. Then on the other hand I think in most cases federal laws for "Rights" tend to be a bit better.. (when you are talking about conservative states it's all the more important)
The problem is states like Texas, Florida New Jersey,New York, Cali and a few others all get the shit end of the stick. These states Residents all pay more taxes in, than what they get back. Meanwhile these states are supporting states like Alaska which has no sales tax or state tax yet gets back over 2 times as much from the Federal govt compared to what is paid in.
In short it's like welfare for states. You have one group one paying more taxes and group two paying less taxes and getting back more. The funny thing is, the ones in group 2 tend to be Conservative Red states with the exception of Texas. Yet it's typically the people in those states that cry the most about federal welfare, meanwhile they live in welfare states.
