What if Galt's Gulch was visible?

What if we did set up our own Galts Gulch? We welcomed the best and the brightest and the hardest workers from all walks of life. Instead of being hidden in a valley, however, it is out in plain site. A state inside the US for example that succeeds from the union. Would we have to build a wall? Would the Federal government allow us to exist? Would neighboring States cause problems?

    PS: If it's visible, it will probably be taxed and regulated out of existence. Then its residents will have to Go Galt somewhere else.

    And even if the "best and the brightest and hardest workers from all walks of life" gather in one place, how could there possibly be enough of them to create anywhere near the same standard of living the vast majority of them already "enjoy" where they are presently located?

    Only a collapse of the system will "allow" a gulch to exist, and then it had better not be visible.

    I don't think any State in the US has the slightest chance of seceding from the Union (as long as it exists).
