If we're going to be fond of the past, let's go way back to the far past - 77 million years ago when T. rex still roamed the land, CO2 in the atmosphere was well over 400 ppm and nobody complained, and no one paid any taxes to anyone.
A modest proposal: unless the land on which you reside wasn't literally underwater during the Late Cretaceous, you don't get to be part of the modern-day United States. If you weren't part of the country then, you're technically an immigrant (actually, since your land later emerged from the sea, you're technically an "emergrant"),
This proposal would eliminate the big California cities, as well as Washington DC and New York (but leave in Boston). We would keep Pittsburgh but lose Philly. We'd keep Atlanta and the north Georgia mountains, but drop most of the rest of the Deep South. No more Florida, no more Louisiana. We'd lose Houston but somehow still keep Dallas, and almost entirely eliminate Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and the two Dakotas.
In fact, it could result in two separate countries, Appalachia to the east and Laramidia to the west, and other than the island of Llano, everything in between a vast wasteland.
Maga, mofos, maga.
