Good “words” Jess! As a Texas cattle rancher, it’s evident that Texas has no need for any of the Blue States and that Texans would benefit from loosing the burden of an out-of-control MARKIST Federal government. Texan is self-sustaining (i.e. Texas’ resources of; oil, gas, manufacturing, agriculture, aerospace, fishing, electronic microchips, largest military base “Fort Hood” etc.. etc..) and we have no need for New York or Washington… Quit frankly, I’m tired of supporting them with my tax dollars and resources do you can count on my vote for Texas to succeed from the union.

Hmmmm, lets see, Texas has 90% of the crude oil refining capacity in the United States, and with no new refineries being built, the good old Obama administration would only be starving its self of valuable commodities if embargo’s were implemented. Of course there are also the agriculture industries that help to feed not only the U.S. , but also the world. While the U.S. is the largest consumer nation in the world, making Texas an epicenter of production with lower corporate tax rates would increase the influx of companies to our newly formed country, the current administration may indeed find that “punishing” the young country may not be exactly what is best for the U.S. I feel that Texas would also enter into the international community with out any animosity against the U.S. , or any one else. It doesn’t have to be a war, or violent, but rather just an understanding that we are a free people and want the right to govern ourselves, much like the breakaway soviet republics. Granted they are not doing as well as planned however if you would like to read your history, the young United States had its share of problems to resolve shortly after winning their independence.

My formula for becoming a millionaire is to have a lot of patience and a little bit of Texas.

Never, ever underestimate the resolve of a Texan, seriously!

Economically, Texas has enough oil to support the agriculture to feed itself. Also, it is a cheap enough place to support manufacturing, with lower land and labor costs (compared to the rest of the US). If the US did not embargo trade (which is unlikely), Texas would enjoy a cost advantage, not as cheap as China, but with some transportation advantages. Also, cheaper living could curry lots of retirees and their money.

A far-fetched idea, but not that far fetched.

Now, the Republic of California – there’s an idea!
