Will there be 51 states?

this kind of shit happens all the time. There is no way anyone higher up would approve this because of how incredibly dumb it is and how much it would cost the country, it'd just be plain dumb.
 
Didnt Jefferson try and secede during WWII as well? Im pretty sure them doing this happens all the time. Having more than one county backing it may give them some speed though.
 
I dont blame them for trying to succeed from California. California is the most liberal state in the country. The tax rates are through the roof there in order to support there massive government handout program. Granted if they did succeed they would hae a very difficult time for a while trying to figure out there shit, but eventually I dont think it would be a bad thing. Phil Mickleson was on tv a while back saying how he gets taxed well over 50% by california on all his winnings.
 
Didn't even read it. However, I'm going to assume the situation involves some right-wingers trying to secede. This happens all the time - not newsworthy.
 
naw man, we got a really dope flag design going on. i don't think anyone really wants to fuck that up.
 
Its never going to happen. Northern Michigan has seriously tried to become its own state of "Superior" so many times in the past for example and never been able to move forward. There's even been ideas to combine with Wisconsin that never went anywhere. The borders are pretty set in stone.
 
If my beautiful country becomes a part of one of the most hated countries in the world, I won't do too much, because it won't change the fact that we're part of America.

How am I not surprised this is Modoc county.

We go to Alturas every 4th in Modoc and is never ceases to amaze me with all the fucking weirdos there.

Anyone who has ever been to Modoc knows exactly what I'm talking about.
 
Background: Grad student studying local and state government, in particular California.

Yes the state has higher than average income tax rates. We also have some of the lowest property tax rates in country that get locked into only very small increases each year. Furthermore, the investments in education and technology have helped the state to strive and grow. Areas such as Austin and Denver and North Carolina have growing tech start-up vibes but there's still a reason most everyone heads to California to get started.

Additionally, this is just a ploy by a small group of rural counties to get some attention. They largely benefit far more by being a part of California than they would without it.
