USC (United States of Conservatives) v. USL (United States of Liberals)

Americans:

Imagine that at 12:00 AM on January 1, 2009 America will be peacefully partitioned with the stroke of a pen in a similar fashion to the Partitioning of India in 1947 into two new countries - The United States of Conservatives and the United States of Liberals. The USC would be governed exclusively by conservative principles and the USL would be governed exclusively by liberal principles. In the USC there would be no welfare for anyone - corporations or citizens; in the USL there would be safety nets underneath safety nets for everyone, etc. There would be no debate.

If you were a liberal living in what would become the USC or a conservativie living in what would become the USL on 1/1/09, would you move to the other country? Would you change the place you live to be in a country of like minded individuals, based upon the principles you eschew, and only have to consider minor philosophical compromises?

Do you think there would be a mass migration of liberals and conservatives like Muslims moving to Pakistan and Hindus moving to India before the Partition was official in 1947?

Yes there would be a mass migration of hard working people to the conservative side. The liberal side on the other hand will collapse because no one would want to excel due to the heavy tax burden. Hell the kids that call themselves liberal will leave when the work hard through college and finally see their first pay check. This is a good dream though but it will never happen. The reason it won't ever happen is because liberals are money sucking leaches that need the working class to survive and without that they would starve.
