From California to Mississippi, the anti-tax era got everybody. Now states don’t have domestic revenue to pay for shit, so they have to go through the Feds for everything.
Ironic, in a way, since the core of anti-tax Republicanism was supposed to be about shrinking the size of government. But here we are, beholden to whichever idiot or asshole happens to be running the executive branch at a given moment

Remind me again why California needs the federal government as opposed to the other way around?
They don’t. If California stopped sending taxes to DC, the rest of the country would be fucked.
No, parts woukd be fine. New york, hawaii, alaska.
Hawaii would be fucked in the short term. They require so much from the mainland right now.
Alaska, yes.
New York, ehh? Would they though?
Got ports, got money, got canada. Got some domestic industry, unlike the looter states.
Illinois wasn’t mentioned
Wasnt a complete list, just places that came to mind as having the potential to stand without ties to america.
