    Are you suggesting a change to the terms of the treaty? That would take 3/4ths of the members to agree.

    Maybe it's a good thing NY and CA can't change the Constitution by themselves.

    Until recently, my family in the Northeast paid less federal taxes than I do in Texas. They got a break because of their state income tax. I didn’t get a break on my federal taxes because we have no state income taxes here.

    Texas is the outlier the rest of the red states would go bankrupt without fed redistribution money.

    You may think so, but we aren't going to tolerate the extreme abuses by an extreme minority anymore.

    We Blue-Staters don't want or need the red states. So support the right of secession.

    Put your money where your mouth is.

    yep, if 38 states want to change the constitution then can, that is over half, I am good with that, a change would have to be pretty popular to get changed

    Great. We agree that the several sovereign states have the right to exit the treaty. Please go ahead. I will applaud you.

    Secession isn't legal. But the South has always wanted out. And now Blue States will as well. Texas has long wanted to exit. It's over.

    So you are slowing starting to get it...
