If the blue states secede

[question everything]

I am having a debate with a bunch of freepers who jokingly, or not, would not mind that DC, NYC, LA, Berkley, San Francisco and Hollywood be nuked (after the idiotic comments of CA congressman Dana Rohrabacher).

My point is that these are the seats of the economic engine and innovation of the country. That I don't see any of them moving to Alabama, as an example.

And one of them is saying that, hey, California is losing many people who move to red states.

Sure the do, cheaper to live there then in California and cheaper labor - if one is a business owner. But there is a reason, or reasons, why blue states are donors and red ones are recipients.

Would like to get some of your opinions and hard data - if you have.

Thanks
