How 'bout it going down like this....

I had a thought this morning - scary, I know...

I was thinking about California and that they have now suspended payment of refunds that are owed by the State to its citizens....Sucks to be in California....

Anyway - If I were in charge of a state that was going down the tubes and couldnt pay my bills, it would be real, REAL tempting to see the taxes that are going to Washington and be jealous. REALLY JEALOUS - I mean, we are talking California here. Liberals here - where "Wealth Envy" reigns supreme - or at least as an attempt to tax "the rich" and buy votes with the proceeds....

Here is where I get off chasing a rabbit...What if - WHAT IF - a State that is hitting hard times AND cant stand those in Washington decides to have its Citizens send NO TAX MONEY to Washington and only 1/2 to the State? That means that all of a sudden, those in the state just got a raise. It means that the State has now basically SECEDED from the Union - or at least SECEDED from Washington.

I bet that State's government just JUMPED double digits in its popularity.

Now - for the down side...What would Washington do? I have no idea. It would try to get its money, I am sure. It would try to bypass the State Government and go directly to the citizen, threatening to jail and confiscate all their possessions. It would take the State to protect its Citizens. It would take the Texas Rangers to protect Texas....It would take local Government to call up its Citizen Army to protect.

I have always figured Revolution would come through a Tax Revolt. Its not that people are greedy - we arent. Its that when you tax our money, you are taxing our TIME - you are taxing our FREEDOM. With this scenario, you get a Tax Revolt coupled with States' Rights.

I bet if one State stood up to Washington and told them to SHOVE IT - it wouldnt take other States long to follow suit. Of course, we know that this isnt going to start with California. It will start with a State who is hurting but also understands what this Country began as and what it SHOULD be...It would start in a "Red" State.

Pray, Praise, Prepare....
