Perry is three times governor of the largest conservative state in the Union and under his leadership Texas is one of the most prosperous states in the Union and the state that has created almost 40% of all the new jobs in the country since 2009. That is by itself is a super mighty record that dwarfs anything the TALKER Cain has on his resume.
Texas has a good record under Perry, but Perry still has his own cronyism to answer for by rewarding campaign donors with money out of the ETF.
Many parts of your statistics are correct.
However, I say that you MUST consider something else:
How many of those ‘new jobs’ are really jobs that were transplanted from states like California that the company owners were driven out of where they were comfortable until Califronia & it’s illegals & Democrat voters kept taxing them & regulating them into making the decision to MOVE?
IF California & other states had run their territories with a kinder hand & kept the EPA & the AQMD & all the Sacramento legislators & Union money out of their companies—HOW MANY of those companies would have totally uprooted & relocated?
I know of more than one company that relocated out of Calif. Some went to Texas—no income tax was a lure. Less regulation was a lure. Some went to Tennessee- same story-less taxes & less regulation & easier permit processes. One went to Missouri. Lower land costs for his building needs.
Texas has been growing, YES, but a large part of that growth is from the ESCAPING unhappy people in other states.
There is a difference between a totally NEW JOB & one that moves into Texas from Califronia. That is a TRANSPLANTED JOB & doesn’t lower unemployment.
