Prior to 9/11, there were (at least) two towns in New Hampshire that were talking about seceeding from the state because of taxation issues (what else...). Nobody, was talking seriously about secession from the US, and it is fairly obvious that the other 49 states won't allow a new state with 30000 people (I'm being generous) to have two senators and a rep. The other alternative would be to join either MA or ME, where taxation is far worse (that is fact, not an opinion).
In other news, I've been told that there was a VT legislator that introduced a bill in the VT legislature every year to secede from the union. Can anyone verify this?
