Texas is the wealthiest and most important state in the Union (California has a higher GDP, but it does not have a better economy, at least not right now). It has its own natural resources, diverse cultures, relatively low cost of living, and several nationally acclaimed universities. In addition, it is home to cutting edge technological development in Dallas and a strong petrochemical industry in Houston. It also has relatively strong conservative values, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your own views.

So what do you think about Texas secession?

There is so much debt and chaos and corruption in D.C., I that I honestly think it would be good for Texas to secede (I’m a Texan). We’ll be free from those goons in D. C.
Felcher: No, we can’t. You can stay the hell out if you want. Good riddance.
