Eh, let them go. They'll all come crawling back once their respective economies crash and burn and the poor start rioting.

Hey, here is a fun fact about the state that want to secede: most of them are total fucking moochers.

the top states that want to secede also received the most federal tax dollars. (The exception is petition leader Texas, but they have their own reasons besides Obama’s win for believing in their own independence.) By the 2010 numbers, Mississippi ($2.47) and Alabama ($2.03) both took in twice as much federal tax money as they paid. South Carolina was just eight cents behind at $1.92. According to a 2006 Tax Foundation study, Louisiana took in $1.45 for every dollar. Tennessee took in a $1.30. Arkansas took in a $1.47, and Oklahoma took in a $1.48 for every federal tax dollar they paid.

Do any of them realize that if they want to have their own military and shit they'd have to raise taxes ritr

Why, you don't need to raise taxes to have a military, not even if there's a war! Just cut taxes, and the money will come pouring in...you know, like Bush did. That's why Obama inherited a booming economy with no deficit and no national debt.
