Jay, you’re an idiot. You bash a state for asserting their constitutional rights? Wow.

Here’s an agenda for you- print money with no gold backing; make irrational demands for excessive taxation on the citizens so that money can be given to special interests groups that put you in office;bow to dictators in other countries while making apologies for being alive as a free nation and trying to help others do the same; and last but not least, force the States and private companies to take your money or else. What a way to overthrow the government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” without ever firing a shot. Nevertheless, these are still traitorous acts of “wealth redistribution” that our Founding Fathers were familiar with from Great Britain and always wanted to safeguard us from.

I cannot imagine how this state ran up such a huge deficit since 2003. Well I can imagine, because the president of the U.S. did the same thing, except Georgia didnt have an unnecessary way to blame it on.

When one examines the Republican party platform, it has been reduced to two single pillars. One is forcing a social conserativism on everyone, and the other is that tax cuts are the solution to all economic types of economic situtations, something even the most conservative supply side economists do not assert or accept.

Of course if Georgia residents have to rely on another system of getting mortgages, where no mortgage is guaranteed by its government, private homeownership will plummet. Will the state of Georgia even have enough money to allow interest payments to be deducted from whatever form of taxation it allows. Fair tax of course, would increase the rate at which 98 percent of Georgia residents are taxes, especially that 36 percent that pays zero federal income taxes or a net negative income tax. All that these people currently pay is the state income tax and the state sales tax. Which amounts to between 13 and 15 percent of income. Fair tax claims 23 percent in the text, but in the appendix states why the real rate ends up being 30 percent. Of course Georgia will not have the financial resources to uphold the part of fair tax that supposedly sends back a few thousand dollars a month to lower income payers of the tax, so this part will more than likely be scrapped, raising the overall total taxation of its citizens to even higher levels than currently exist.

Establishing a military and purchasing helicopters, aircraft, etc is a huge expense for a new nation. The money to do so will have to either be raised by taxation, as was necessary when the United States was founded OR borrowed.

Of course the State of Georgia has a lot of bonds out. Of course 9 out of ten holders of these bonds are Georgia residents. Of course, Georgia will somehow have to get the money to pay these bonds off.
