Pluses vs. Minuses if a State chose to secede from the Union are!!! In the recent past, some public officials (Texas Gov. Rick Perry comes to mind) have discussed the possibility of seceding from the Union. Of course there might be some benefits, but on the other hand there would also likely be some losses to so acting. From a rational or irrational viewpoint, I believe they would be as follows:
Foreseeable benefits (pluses) to Seceding
For a family earning $100,000 a year, they’d see their income increase by about $25 to $30,000 by not having to pay federal taxes. This fact alone could well result in a groundswell of voter support for seceding from the Union. You’d likely hear a lot of folks saying, “Let’s get the hell out of here!” or One can only imagine the unprecedented financial support secession would receive from the energy, banking, insurance and medical sectors.
Foreseeable losses (minuses) to Seceding
Only time will tell which state will be first to secede. I can hardly wait to see if it’s going to be Texas, South Carolina or Mississippi. On the other hand it could well be Massachusetts or Delaware, right. Who y'all pulling for?
