We pay more in taxes than the welfare states, have less representation... Seems like there was something in US History about taxation without representation.
Secede. That'll teach 'em.
Honestly of all the states, California probably has the best chance at seceding successfully.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if California's GDP has surpassed that of the UK, which would make it the fifth largest economy in the world if it were to secede.
A quick Google search says you are correct
Dare I say... defederate? *smugface*
Of course, the US has had tons of taxation without representation, I have no idea what else you could be referring too.
