Christ, you are a lawyer -- you should know that few things are actually as simple as they appear at a cursory glance.
Again, whatever. Secede your heart out. Have fun coordinating your imports!

Ah, Burger distracted me, and now you have reminded me of my real points -- that nothing benefits anyone indirectly, and that everything is simple. Thank you.
Look, if you want to suggest that those statistics are misleading, and that blue states don't really subsidize red states, be my guest. You'll just have to bring something to the table besides witty references to Mark Twain.
