Texas can survive on it's own!
Please note that
Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union.
(Please refer to the Texas - American Annexation Treaty of 1848)
1.
NASA is just south of Houston, Texas. (we control the space industry)
2.
We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.
3.
Defense Industry. (we have over 65% of it) "Don't Mess With Texas"
4.
Oil - We can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need
for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.
5.
Natural Gas - Again we have all we need and it's too bad about those
northern states.
6.
Computer Industry - We currently lead the nation in producing computer
chips and communications.
7.
Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for Cancer research,
the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world and other
large health planning centers.
8.
We have enough colleges to keep us going: Baylor, Rice, Texas A&M,
Texas Tech, Texas Women's University, University of Houston, University
of Texas, UNT, etc. Ivy grows better in the south anyway.
9.
We have a ready supply of workers.
10.
We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.
11.
In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and
the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army but since everybody
down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an
army in 24 hours if we need it. If the situation really gets bad, we
can always call Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over
a couple of Texas Rangers.
12.
We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and several types
of grain, fruit and vegetables and lets not forget seafood from the
Gulf. And everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste
good.
This names
just a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good
shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.
