Uh huh, you're just a bigot, the states with big cities pay their fair
share, the rural rednecks just like to complain, they are the ones
with the sense of entitlement, in truth, they want "the greatest
country in the world" to base its economy on their woodchopper
businesses, fuck that.  We're more advanced than that.  It's
ridiculous when they talk about divorcing the different states, they
need to just suck it up and realize that their way of life is fine for
them, but it's not something divine, nay it is Satanic when it trumps
everyone else.  Fuck off, rednecks.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
