Message: <blockquote data-quote="RickN" data-source="post: 1986739" data-attributes="member: 8854">A few simple facts,1) Oklahoma used to be a donor state and if oil and gas production keep increasing it will be again. So will many other red states.2) If Texas did leave the union (not likely) many other states would follow and the rest of the USA would in just as bad a shape, if not worse then those states that left.3) If Texas left peacefully, they would probably get to keep the military equipment stationed there. See the breakup of the Soviet Union as an example.4) While this is basically just a protest at this time, I fully believe that if DC does not get it's act together and stop running over states rights, we will see it for real with the country being split into three separate countries or maybe three self ruled areas that join together for mutual defense.</blockquote>
