Does it seem funny to anyone else that the states have to ask permission to the federal government for secession?

Why would anything need given back to the Fed's? Do people in Indiana not pay federal taxes? I am pretty sure I see taxes come out of all of my paychecks. The property and infrastructure in Indiana belongs to Indiana.
To say that we would be bankrupt in 10 years does not seem right either. Our economy is currently going better than the fed's. Stop welfare, lower tax rates, get new business, new business's hire employee's and pay more taxes to the state. If we did this and kept all current federal programs in place I could see it. That would defeat the whole purpose though wouldn't it?
Indiana has no port to speak of and would have to cross foreign land or airspace to export her products. That alone would render secession economically stupid on a monumental scale.
A state seceding is like a 12y/o kid saying he wants to leave the family.
yes, seceding is unconstitutional and a waste of time. It does however make for strong political capital within the base.
But should it be unconstitutional? I don't think it should be, but I think it would be dumb at this time.

So naturally what does someone want to do when things are not going their way....they want to quit and go do something else. Had that of been the First Continental Army's thought in the 1780's we would still be under British control.
Yeah this has been popping up everywhere on the interwebthingy. Seems people are pretty unhappy with the way things are going governmental wise (imagine that!).

Had that of been the First Continental Army's thought in the 1780's we would still be under British control. The only option as I see it, is to remove everyone from office...yes EVERYONE...remove corporate influence and campaign donations...remove a centralized banking system...and restart the system back to day 1 w/ term limits applied to all.
