USA is controlled by the elite only thanks to the federal government. The elite is only 1%, the rest are normal people. Because of the federal government a small bunch of the elite can control all the united states right from Washington DC. Let's take as example the obviously absurd recent laws allowing marriage and adoption for gays by declaring them mentally sane . The states that are ruled by normal people with common sense were against this madness in the beginning, but at the end the federal government forced all the states to obey. If all the US states will become independent countries and will be able to make their own laws, the 1% of perverts won't be able physically to control everybody anymore. The sooner this will happen, the better for the majority of normal people. There is not much time left. People must wake up and start acting immediately.
