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?

Obvious answers to the second. For the first, I believe it’s mostly Medicaid (for those who choose not to work) and Education (for the idiots who still think public schools are ‘wonderful’, and those that are too lazy or too poor to take matters into their own hands), and maybe Food Stamps (not sure who funds that).
While it would be nice to have a state more in line with Asian countries that say “No work, then no food”...most Americans, including most ‘conservatives’ simply wouldn’t tolerate it.
