Of course independence is my preferred choice. But if the choice was to remain an EU member or swap that to become a State of the USA I would have to give that serious consideration.
Faced with the choice of being a State of the USA, where the highest rate of income tax (37.5%) doesn't kick in until $600,000 and anyone earning $100,000 pays just 22%, where its administration has ambitions to grow the economy by deregulation and lower taxes, or being shackled to the EU, which sees one of its greatest achievements as the abolition of national borders and sees its ambition to be a "regulatory superpower", it could be a tough choice.
22:43 No contest If I had to choose, I'd go US. Not just for the taxation situation but for the culture. We are totally different to mainland Europe all we have in common is geography. We are a creator of the US and have a lot in common with them. Europe still leans towards socialism as the default. Thankfully we are not making that choice.
