I see the point you're making but hold the horses on the hyperbole there.

This "only Texas" mentality is both counter-productive and untrue. Very few states need the big daddy federal government to be successful. Very few.

But we work together because it's beneficial to all of us to work together. That's the only reason. If it stops being beneficial (due to corruption, market interference, or other types of oppression) then states should feel free to bounce out of here. Like Brexit. That used to be how it worked until the Civil War, now technically we're locked together which causes a lot of problems. Sadly at this point, most states could secede and be better off.

It's definitely not "only Texas."
