Its been fun following the election in here, and post-election turmoil. But I keep coming across a common statement from the far leaning left - if the Republicans don't like it, then go away.
What would happen if they did just all go away? If many of us just moved to another country?
Who would pay for all the social programs?
Lets be honest here. If the red states all left America, they would be hurting... badly. The blue states provide the majority of the tax revenue, and they are the centers of wealth for our nation.
I think the main reason people are saying that is a bit of revenge for all the years of "America: love it or leave it" that they got from the Republicans. Not the most mature thing in the world, no. Lets not lose sight of the fact of which states really pay the bills in our country though.
Gee, I wonder how Obama and his supporters ever got the reputation as being elitist?
Beats the hell outta me man.
