In terms of raw numbers- there are far too many dems here to even think texit is possible. Besides, the surplus of money the rest of the country gets from Tx is something they will fight tooth and nail for. Optimistically- we have about .01% chance.

Politically speaking, if Tx is gone (and the electoral college shrinks) the dems likely control the US from that point forward. So I can't see any Rep. support outside the state. Although that might get the rest of the dems on board with the idea

Eventually for Tx, it would be like being stuck in between Mexico and Venezuela!

Texas sends about 265 Billion dollars annually to the Federal government, but only gets back about 162 Billion. In other words, if ALL Texas dollars were kept in Texas, we would have a 100-120 Billion Dollar surplus to lower Texas taxes and keep in Texan’s pockets.

Outside of the other valid reasons, the above statement is more than enough to kill the deal.




A quick tip on self preservation: Don't insult and then taunt Charles. Doing so will usually only give you something to complain about on another forum.
