I hope so. He certainly deserves the money more than the government does since he's the one that created it. He also seems to be doing a lot better job of helping others with the money than any government social program ever accomplished.
Bear in mind that he made his way to Texas long before he became wealthy, so the choice wasn't merely one of low taxes. People don't generally move to Texas because they are rich, they move to Texas because Texas is a great environment for becoming rich (where "rich" is a relative term, and includes things like open space, land ownership, and a greater level of personal freedom than can be found in most other states).
You’ve made some excellent points.
I’ve always assumed people moved to Texas because it’s a good place to establish a business with a minimum of government interference. It’s always helps to have politicians at the state and local level who advocate low taxes and less regulations.
Plus, the reasons you mentioned......wide open spaces, lots of land, less interference in people’s life by government, etc.
I remember one time, a caller asked Rush Limbaugh where he (the caller) should move in order to live in a conservative area of the country. Rush suggested the caller move to the northern part of Texas.
