If Florida wasn’t so similar, I would move to Texas!
It is really great here - no nothing for state taxes & all of the rest, just like Texas.
Yeah and Sandstorms in the panhandle..
it really is miserable here.
Maybe you guys can ask Sheila Jackson Lee to move to NY or CA.
You aint whistling Dixie.
Last time I was in Texas, I was sweating like a whore in church the second I stepped off the plane...Even my sunglasses kept fogging over. It was like being on the surface of another planet, with a swamp like atmosphere and too close the sun.
The A-rab cab driver who picked me at at DFW, told me I'd get used to it...
I told him I wouldn't be there that long...And wasn't.
But I do hope 5 or 10 million leave CA and go there...or anywhere for that matter!
Can we get an A-men!
Texas has zero state income tax, zero capital gains taxes, and zero death taxes. It is a right to work state where employees may choose to join a union, but are never forced to. It is pro business and anti-lawyer (discouraging class action lawsuits and the first state to pass a Loser Pays law). Texas is also tight-fisted with welfare and entitlement benefits- unlike New York and California. The result of this limited government attitude is people with high incomes, assets, and ambition are moving into Texas, while those who lack work ethic, and feel entitled to handouts are moving out. Good riddance.

In addition, we PROUDLY stand behind our Stand your Ground laws. And we have the death penalty. And we use it too.
Texas is a beautiful state with friendly people. And well governed too. Even with Rick Perry as our Governor.

I live in Texas. It is 106 outside as I speak. I killed a 6 foot long rattlesnake this morning which I had found in my (dry - no water) toilet. This morning, I discovered a nest of Brown Recluse and Black Widow spiders in my toolbox which I had gotten out to fix my water main as most of our city maintenance workers have been laid off along with all public school teachers. No one should have to live like this and I would advise anyone who is thinking about doing so to think twice.
“What’s the worst thing to ever happen to the State of Texas?
The invention of air conditioning.
Because it allowed Yankees to live here.”
And the scorpions are MASSIVE!
I like Texas and have spent a fair amount of time there..just wish you could convince some of the folks moving to Montana to go to Texas instead...
Great. They will just turn this great state into the $#!^hole that they just left.
Two conservatives and four lefist friends are moving to texas this MONTH!
Heck yeah
It was 95 in my living room yesterday...
Felt cooler on the back porch under the Live Oak,
with the sprinkler going.
I really think we are full enough... they created those messes in thier states stay there and fix em instead of screwing up ours.
Come on down, you'll get plenty of rays. And how.
Mosquitoes big enough to carry off small pets and children.
The horseflies are even bigger and bite harder!
LOL!
Overrun by illegals, one of the fastest growing muslim communities in the country.
See post 6 it doesn’t seem to be working but I will keep on trying.
