I guess having your asses kicked once in a country’s history isn’t enough for some folks.
Can they take Oklahoma, Kansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and maybe Florida with them?Texas Republicans endorse legislation to allow vote on secession from US

Texas was it's own country for nearly a decade. If Texas became it's own republic again it would be one of the largest economies in the world. I'd be for it honestly.

I wonder how well Texas would fair if all they had was their national guard to protect them once the national military pulls out.Nonsense... Most of the corporations that have moved here would leave... The days of no state income tax would end abruptly when all those federal dollars that flow into Texas evaporated... The issue of secession was settled long ago... These kind of meaningless votes are for the idiots...

I don't doubt that Texas could muster up forces to protect itself IF it became its own country but the cost in real dollars would make all those low tax rates that seem to drive most of this BS go away in a heartbeat.

Seceding from the grid hasn't worked out too well.
You can leave this country *anytime* you want. Same goes for any resident in all states.

Don’t forget all the new fancy tariffs we’d get to impose on them. The additional cost for citizens of New TexasLand to come to *our* country. Not to mention the giant ****ing wall we’d get to build.
Wow. Maybe we do want this.

I can just imagine texas standing alone and having another harvey or big freeze hit them again. No federal help. I say go for it and good riddance.Texas was it's own country for nearly a decade.

You're assuming Texas would be treated poorly? You're probably right though considering how weak the current administration treats countries like Iran.
Huh? If texas left the union you would no longer be a part of america. So you either love your country or support leaving your country. Which is it?What makes you think I want to leave the US? I love my country. All I am saying is that if Texas actually did become its own country again i'd be supportive and would stay in Texas.
Texas would no longer be a part of the union and get no tax dollars from it.Not with the proposed corporate tax hikes that the democrats want to impose.
