The total .."STUPIDITY OF ...."Marjorie Taylor Green" about the ...divorce statement.

Last edited Tue Feb 21, 2023, 03:13 AM - Edit history (6)

....Marjorie is totally stupid for the........."Divorce Statement" in the news now.

....Talking about a divorce of Red States from the country is beyond anything she has ever said........
What it means is that she has decided in some dark corner of her mind to end her career in politics.
(Very Important: My opinion only).......

....Beyond space lasers’ or fire in the woods to burn the.trees down...(or whatever) she has said....,
this divorce statement says more about her than she would ever imagine. Why? It promotes the
idea of a succession of states from the union. ...(like a Civil War)....

...The Civil War 1861 - 1865... killed the largest percentage of the population that any war in United States
History has ever been in.
How stupid can one be? To propose the divorce of red states from the Union in
the year 2023..is stupid and evil in a way that cannot be described. I guess Marjorie Taylor Green just
proved that she is ignorant as can be: About our history and what the "Civil War" was to this country..

...In conclusion, there is one point that needs to be made: When Taylor Green made this statement she
was sure there would not cause the anger disgust that it would create.

.........As has been said before: " She was sure that she would get away with it. "

........That is what stupid and ignorant people think who make statements like this....That this would be...OK...
to say because it is ..."Free Speech" and I am a "Office Holder"

.........Of course she will not get away with it. Marjorie Taylor Green hasn't got a tiny clue, says Stu...

At link below is proof that the Civil War caused more deaths than any other war. The link gives the number
of deaths the Wars the U.S. fought in.

...This link is from the U.S. Government.(Veterans Affairs Department).. (different than the earlier link...I changed it)

There will be no divorce or succession because red states could not fund their operations

High-tax, traditionally Democratic states (blue), subsidize low-tax, traditionally Republican states (red) — in a big way.....

Connecticut residents paid an average of $15,643 per person in federal taxes in 2015, according to a report by the Rockefeller Institute of Government. Massachusetts paid $13,582 per person, New Jersey paid $13,137 and New York paid $12,820.

California residents paid an average of $10,510.

At the other end, Mississippi residents paid an average of $5,740 per person, while West Virginia paid $6,349, Kentucky paid $6,626 and South Carolina paid $6,665.

Low-tax red states also fare better when you take into account federal spending.

Mississippi received $2.13 for every tax dollar the state sent to Washington in 2015, according to the Rockefeller study. West Virginia received $2.07, Kentucky got $1.90 and South Carolina got $1.71.

Meanwhile, New Jersey received 74 cents in federal spending for tax every dollar the state sent to Washington. New York received 81 cents, Connecticut received 82 cents and Massachusetts received 83 cents.

Not a shred of logical reasoning. Just a heep of negative emotions.

Seceded red states would get no Fed money. No US taxes would mean no budgets for those states. No farm subsidies, no fed insured bank accounts, no medicare/medicaid, no money backed by the full faith & credit of the US, no DOJ, FBI, no immigration and border control, no airports, ports, no FEMA for disasters, no military bases, no food inspections, no interstate highway maintenance, no etc etc etc.

What a stupid stupid woman.

I guess she thinks that southern states will succeed from the USA. She's a truly awful person. She's selling our country to Putin. I hope she doesn't get more power than she has. She's ten times worse than the Turtle. At least Turtle doesn't want a divided country. Turtle just wants power and control. This woman is trying to destroy our country.
