Because Florida benefits immensely from supporting a state which has, if it were a country, the 6th highest GDP in the world.
The economy in Florida would be heavily affected if California left the union.
Your question is basically like asking "why do federations exist?"
- nradov 6y agoNo one has seriously suggested seceding from the union. The survival or bankruptcy of some small businesses in California has very little impact on Florida.
- uoaei 6y agoObviously not literally seceding, I am referring to the impact of economic disruption. "Some small businesses" is a washy phrase with no substance.
