But if things don't get better at some point, I would be willing to put to the test to see how these deadbeat, welfare sucking red states do without the west coast's tax dollars, California's agriculture, wine, technology, movies, natural resources, oh and, not to mention, access to the Pacific Ocean and all of those cheap imports from Asia that they like so much. They may think they'll be so much better off without us. I have a hunch they will find that they are quite wrong about that.
