I agree wholeheartedly, but only if we leave all of the politicians, along with the thugs.  Everyone else can withdraw immediately, including the families of the thugs and politicians.  Hurricane Katrina survivors can house the families of the politicians and corporate sponsors can take care of the families of the thugs.  Washinton,D.C. will have to be permanently sealed off as the dangerous jungle it is (after all, politicians roam free there) and no one allowed to ever escape it!  Our country will thrive once freed of the corrupt influence of the "Federal Government".
