BLUE of course. And I would like to see this happen. Heck, no need to split, just end the Feds and all Blue Taxes doesn't leave the States. Let's where these red states will get their funding.

Republicans States would FAIL. As the majority of Red States depend on Blue States taxes.

I figured since the republican side would be safer, and have lower tax rates, the businesses that COULD move WOULD move to the republican side.

Then the democratic side would be stuck with few businesses to tax at all, and with their programs, couldn't afford it.

Who knows how it would really work, though.

Maybe all the businesses would want to be on the democratic side so they could be closer to hip hop roots.

The Dem side would let the Pubs do all the work and buy all their stuff from them with fine fiat!
