“This article also misses the fact that the general cost-of-living is less in Texas than it is elsewhere.”
Absolutely - just registering cars in Texas is very cheap, and insurance is likely on the low side also. Also, electricity and gas are VERY CHEAP, at least compared to the Northeast.
That’s why I think articles like this are intentionally slanted against red states.
What is the TX government doing with all that tax money? Are they really spending it better than the people who generated that money with their own labor? Or is it going to politicians, unions, waste, grade school drag shows etc, like everywhere else?
In a way that is not bad. Left to tend to only look at the surface layers of any issue, and if they read an article like this, they won’t want to move here. If they did further analysis, they might want to. So, good, let’s keep them away.
