In the last 10 years Vermont has been in a positive cash flow situation with the federal govt. Between $1.03 and $1.13 returned for every dollar collected by the IRS in that state.

So the first result of this plan would be a decrease in the states standard of living. Followed closely, I'd guess, by a tax increase by the new national govt to replace the loss.

Oh well. What does that comedian say? "You can't fix stupid" or something to that effect.
