You have to wonder if this helped his decision along: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/worl...
Proud of their distinct language and culture, a growing number of Catalonia's 7.5 million citizens resent the redistribution of their taxes to other parts of Spain and believe the region would be better off on its own.

    As badly as Spain has spiraled into debt, it is amazing that the Spanish have allowed him to remain in power as long as he has. The Spanish are a long way from the era of their acquisition of the gold and silver in the then "New World". Now that money has left them, I am reminded of Francisco d'Anconia, "Money is the barometer of a society's virtue."
