Texas also has one of the lowest welfare payments in the US too. Discourages the parasites from moving there.
Just think about the effect if a state, such as Texas, were to fully assert its sovereignty and remove all these handout programs within the state, and subsequently drop the taxes on the working people that subsidize these programs.
Parasites out, productive people in, prosperity abounds.
Yes, I’m calling for “separatism” - separation of liberal policies from productive people.
