Settled? Certainly not. "I'll shoot you" is not a legal argument.

I am warming up to this idea. Liberals would be on one side, working and paying taxes, so we would have roads, parks, libraries, schools, universities, hospitals, police and fire depts, health coverage, etc. Plus we would have plenty of self-employed family farms and Mom & Pop businesses to take care of all our purchasing needs and wants. Tax breaks for non-profits will fill liberal side with churches, synogogues, mosques, and temples of every religion, and charities & community organizations would be aplenty. Everything would be clean and healthy, including our natural resources of air, water and land, so we would have plenty of modern clean energy retirement centers too, since we will be living long healthy lives.

Conservatives on the other side would have unmaintained cemeteries to take care of helpless wealthy and CEOs who do not know how to take care of themselves and who also refuse to pay taxes to have services.

Now, lest anyone think I have anything against northerners per se, I will mention my own kids are "half-yankee" and several of my close friends are northern born. I am just saying...!
SOOO true!!!

So True!!! LMAO!!

The problem is the lefties like to 'talk the talk' but they don't want to 'walk the walk'. They expect the 'rich conervatives' to walk the walk so they can take from them.

That is how we pay our taxes, we are not against paying our taxes remember? That is why we will have a utopian community without wealthy/corporate greed and pollution. Self-employed family farms and Mom and Pop shops will flock to liberal side because:
1) they are working people too
2) there are more people on liberal side to buy their goods and services
3) the corporate CEOs kick them out of Conservative country

Only three worthwhile things ever came out of the American South: cotton, rock and roll, and Ron White. Everything else can slide into the Gulf of Mexico with my compliments.
This is precisely the arrogant ignorance that causes the divisiveness. Excellent display there, Michigan. Well done! I'm so sick of this crap.

That is exactly what the government wants. That way you

will be too distracted to realize what they are really doing:

Stealing our money, at everyone's expense.

Repeal the 16th Amendment and we will all be one

HAPPY FAMILY

These are not industries, you need industry to create wealth. You need to make things, a service economy is dead economy. I would guess you would impose all kinds of insane restrictions on industry in your liberal land? These industries would be doomed to failure since they would not be able to compete in a world economy, sound familiar?


--edit---

All the items you would be buying would say "Made in Conservia"
