    Well what is the point of your post, you inferred that Cal was a drain on the US economy, when the opposite is true.
    That is like saying I am a drain on the fed government because I get an income tax refund from an overpayment because I claim single one and are married 2 on my W4.

    The point of my post was to highlight that Cali depends a great deal on the federal govt

    A lot of them stayed most went there as much as anything to get away from the tsar, if you want to get away from the tsar, finding yourself in suddenly in a whole other country is a plus.

    Let me see Danish taxes or American taxes? I doubt the Inuits really care that much which seat of government thousands of miles away owns the place I doubt they'll change their lifestyle that much no matter who owns it.

    So you want Cali to contribute MORE to the Federal coffers?

    They don't subsidize red states enough now?

    I just wish they’d take less. Stop creating such a large class of people needing welfare. They take more in snap then every other state

    So let's understand what you wish...

    Cali puts X dollars into the Federal coffers...and gets back X minus Y in various programs. They SUBSIDIZE the red states

    And YOU want to reduce the size of "Y" in order to FURTHER subsidize those red states...why exactly?

    Huh, they run a deficit with the feds, how does that equate to depending on the feds. you don't depend on a relationship in which you pay more then you get. The red states depend on the fed government to get more than what they contribute. The Blue states pay for their poor Red cousins in most cases.

    As opposed to getting the hell off earth, and give all we have built in America to illegal immigrants and other trash......

    Greenland is an antonymous Danish territory with a population of 56,000, in an area 1/3 larger than Alaska. Many options possible. I was thinking that would be big enough to re-locate the entire fringe elements of the liberal/dem groups, give them their own little nation so they can experiment with utter stupidity, with only themselves to pay the price. Let them rape, pillage, plunder and pollute between themselves, instead of spreading their poo-litical toxic waste across America. Yes, that could work- sort of like a clean sweep of many of our problems with a single pass of the broom...

    Some stayed, some left, yes that's obvious. Organized evacuations? I don't think so. It's ok if you can't prove what you say, but you should be careful with that.
    The point is.....what happens to the people with a deal like that? What if you owned land.....is it still yours?

    Interesting point.
    I would think that private land ownership would remain intact, and that citizens could have dual citizenship; Danish and US. Greenland would become a US territory, the same as Hawaii and Alaska were before becoming states. Greenland is much larger than Alaska, has only 56,000 population- about the size of a small city you never heard of. Population density of 0.026 people per square KM. I think there is a good possibility the population there would be in favor of such a deal, at least from the economics standpoint.

    do you think it has anything to do with being the most populous state? Go by percentage of population and once again red states.
