Remember, CA only received 73c for every dollar in federal taxes.
Red states receive ~$1.23.
CA keeps red states afloat. Blue states financially keep red states afloat.
If conservative policies are so much better you'd expect conservative controlled states to, uh, not be suckling on the teat of the democrats for decades?
Irrelevant. I'm talking about things as they are now, old man.
The fact of the matter is that red staters very existence depends on handouts from blue states. That is a fact. I accept your thank yous, it's my pleasure to help out you little guys.
Pretending things now have nothing to do with how they started is exactly the sort of stupidity I would expect from an imbecile like yourself.
On this same note the reason the south is poorer than rest of the country today is the fact that it's still recovering from the slave economy Democrats ran in those states.
You do not dispute that CA subsidizes the red states.
These states have been controlled by Blue or Red for decades. It's 2024. You're talking about generational trauma like some woke leftist. Been reading critical theory or something?

California has $250 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and had a $68 billion budget deficit this year.
California isn't even keeping California afloat.
California is rich because it's the primary port of entry from Asia for the largest economy on the planet. The idea that California's wealth has f*ck all to do with leftists is patently absurd. It was rich when it was red and it has been in decline since it turned blue. This is a fact whether your cult tells you about it or not.
States like Alabama are poor by comparison because of their geographic location and their history of Democrat slave based economies, and the racial strife and division from Democrat Jim Crow laws and segregation that followed. Even today the poorest most benighted parts of states like Alabama and Mississippi are the Democrat counties.

Wow, CA is so unselfish then. Paying taxes to the feds that go straight into the pockets of red states to keep them afloat, despite financial issues at home.
Red states should be incredibly grateful for this kind of generosity. Without CA unselfishly subsidizing them their standard of life would be far lower.
Again, you still do not dispute that CA, and other Blue states subsidize red states. You know it's true. Instead you argue like a leftist and make generational trauma excuses.
Still, you get a big "you're welcome" from me. I'm glad to help the little guys out.
Places like Alabama have been controlled by conservatives for decades. If conservative policies were that much better, you'd expect them to turn the economy around?
Instead, they fall farther behind blue states and need more handouts.

Texas will be the largest economy in the country in the next 20 years. You might even live to see it if the money pox doesn't get you!
Adult in the room: only makes arguments about 20+ years in the past or 20+ years in the future. Classic leftist arguing: can't focus on the now.
Texas has been GOP for decades yet still lags behind CA. It receives nearly double the federal funds as a % of state revenues as CA. It's massively dependent on the feds which is a classic characteristic of conservative governance.
Anyway, when you pay taxes next year, remember that each dollar you pay gets 25c extra from a democrat state. We're glad to help you guys get by :)

The link is GDP growth in the last 5 years.
Why do you insist on saying "we" when you don't pay taxes?

When you're losing you talk about growth. Ok little buddy, maybe you'll catch up in 20 years thanks to the outsize federal payments Texas received. Again, Texas would be even worse with out the federal assistance – funded by blue states.
This thread is proof that banning two particular registered accounts would dramatically improve the quality of posting on this forum.
Quality of posting on a thread discussing splitting the US down political lines? You're joking right?
It's a common academic exercise in advanced government and law classes. You idiots didn't even read the OP. He specifically stated that it would be a peaceful transfer and it would NOT split along red state and blue state lines. You can't even follow directions. You'd fail this class.

You're too stupid for this conversation.
You insist that 100% of the production of any state belongs entirely to a single political party whether that party won 45% or 65% of the vote.
That's dumb.
Not as dumb as trying to spike the football on being a coastal elitist but still pretty dumb.
Blue states like California are bleeding population because people who aren't rich do not want to live under those banana republic conditions. California is rich elites and poor people because the middle class left for less liberal states.
Texas is on track to supplant California as the #1 economy in the US for this reason. It's the same reason New York, which used to be #1 is now #3 and will soon be passed by Florida.

I never said that. The point of this argument is to decide which states "blue" and "red" get in the great decoupling or whatever.
"On track" "soon be" are arguments used by people who are losing now. Texas has been red for decades and still needs way more federal assistance than CA. Compelling!
Enjoy the 25% subsidy from California and other blue states. Us evil woke leftists are happy to kick a few cents your way to make you don't fall too far behind. A bit of noblesse oblige.

Lol no it's not. It's proposed by weird lefists and trumpers who can't tolerate the idea of living near someone they disagree with. People who make politics their whole personality.

Maybe I missed it, but did you ever say whether you live in a red state or not? Maybe this is common knowledge, so maybe as a newbie I wouldn't know

California has more welfare recipients than most of the lower 48 combined.
It's great that leftist billionaires are doing well in California. The middle class was destroyed while the rich leftists got richer and the poor got poorer.
California is bleeding population. If the state was the economic dreamland your naive simplistic mind thinks it is the population would be growing. The opposite is happening.
You are too stupid for words.
The fact that you're stumbling through life so arrogant about your low IQ and juvenile world view is absolutely HYSTERICAL.

California subsidizes your lifestyle if you live in a red state. Every road you drive on, kW-h of electricity, and gallon of water would not exist without blue states generosity.
Look, you don't have to be humble, you don't have to thank us, I get it. But you know, you exist by our consent and generosity alone. *Pats head*
