 Any reduction or fragmentation of the state's size and power is a good thing. Texas should secede from the US. Houston and Dallas should secede from Texas and become free trade city-states like Hong Kong and Singapore. Most importantly, individuals should secede from government entities at every level.

 Partially agreed, but it's hard to grasp the concept of not having an army and relying on China's defense. #Secession might seem appealing, but who would protect you from potential threats like Russian invasions? And what would Taiwan do without U.S. military support?  
 We could just pull a Europe and rely on the remaining US to protect us.  I just hope we avoid doing all the welfare state stuff, though.  lol
