More like a fascist dictatorship.
California will never be its own country. The "60 mile circle" that surrounds the LA civic center is the 13th largest economy in the world. Ya think Uncle $am will all let that go without killing everybody involved? Dream on.
To be honest I do not think we (The United States) needs Californias economy and/or all it's deficits we will be better off with out them and to be honest I do not think California could survive very long as it's own country. I can agree with Fascist Dictatorship...Fascism and Communism are very closely related.
You're right. We (the people) don't need California and would be better off without it. The government, however, needs all those Californians who work and pay taxes, own houses, drive cars, etc. The government's needs directly oppose the needs of the people. Read this post and you'll know where I'm coming from. :)
