I'd be happy if Texas left, even though it, like California, pays more federal taxes than it receives in federal spending. If Calexist qualified and won, would anything happen? It is not certain that the Brexit vote will lead to Brexit, and there is a bloody war as a precedent for not allowing states to leave the American union.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628163299300681901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34239589.post-82528192038314918682016-11-10T22:05:14.103-05:002016-11-10T22:05:14.103-05:00No different than the same kind of movement by Tex...No different than the same kind of movement by Texans, but for totally different reasons.
