Who really benefits from an arrangement where autonomous states are in direct or indirect competition with each other? The states need to exist to support bureaucracies, but as individual legal and economic regions, the entire idea is counterproductive and outdated.

Yep. Most of the laws in red states are retarded and should be done away with in favor of blue state laws.

Obviously...

Without California picking up the tab for most of the Red States you'd all look like holocaust victims...

"States Rights" is generally just code for legalizing bigotry or selling the local populace out to some capitalist interest.

The idea of having (somewhat) different laws based on the will of people living in a given area is fine. There's so much redundancy that comes with having states, though.

With the economic collapse of America coming by 2016 (according to most experts), I think states probably have outlived their usefulness.

It is time to consolidate government resources, big time.

And as much as us shitkicking conservative types hate california, they do produce half the food in the country. California is not all urban areas you know....


Just sayin....
