Is that right?
Picking and choosing winners and losers of private corporations based on the amount of their campaign contributions and rewarding them with tax payer dollars is rock solid conservative policy now right?
Rallying against government bailouts then taking the money to sew up your own states budget shortfalls is really conservative right? I suppose returning that money to the taxpayers of Texas wouldn't have been an option right, because government knows best what to do with bailout money that they oppose.
Proof is in the pudding.
If so Texas would be in the same crapper as California,New York and Illinois.
Companies are flooding out of California to Texas.
If all states had no state income tax and a base sales tax rate of 6.25% the US would be in a much better place.
Starting in January,2013 if America looks more like Perry's Texas that will be a huge step forward.
