Imagine how prosperous California would be?  Seventh largest global economy?  The rest of the 49 states not dragging it down?

Wouldn't it be a great experience if there were 50 small and prosperous nations in North America?  No big brother to steal prosperity from the masses?

Every man, woman, and child free to KEEP their fruit of their labor?

just my humble opinions
