America is literally HUGE. My home country is roughly the size of Florida, one of the fifty states.

Each one of those states has its own constitution, legal standards, and tax policies.

“Each one of those states has its own constitution, legal standards, and tax policies.”

And, each one also has an insatiable Federal leviathan nibbling away at its rights and responsibilities, along with that of its citizens.

Interesting, too, that this foreign person knows there are “fifty states”, when our own president believes there are 58 (he said he had visited 57, and only had one more to visit).
