In Texas they have:
1) No state income tax
2) Right to work
3) Drill baby drill
4) Tort reform—loser pays
5) Part time state legislature
Imagine if the the rest of the country followed suit!
Hope and change!
Yes we can!
You betcha!
Here come the Palinistas...
80% of my family is in Texas, with many out of work and unemployment around 7-8%. Its a joke. Don’t believe everything you hear.
We don’t commit the same sins as the lefties do when they want to only tell the part of the story that supports their position, do we?
While over 126,000 net jobs were created in Texas over the last two and a half years, the labor force expanded by over 437,000, meaning that overall Texas has added unemployed workers at a rate much faster than it has created jobs.
In contrast, Michigan lost 29,200 since February 2009, but the state’s labor force has shrunk by over 185,000 in that same time operiod. Thus, while there are fewer jobs, there are significantly less workers looking for them.
If you needed a job, which would you prefer?
100% of my family lives in Texas, all are gainfully employed, and all know that you can’t believe anything that dope smoking Ron Paul bots post on FreeRepublic!
bump.
We must be helping other states unemployment rates because their unemployed are moving here.
I know two accountants who have changed jobs in the past year...took about 3 months. One had to re-locate but if you want a job you can get a job.
Get rid of the Franchise Tax, close the border, eliminate the Lone Star Card (food stamps) and other entitlements and we would explode here in Texas. Not likely to happen with anything but a TEA Party government.
Perry forced gardasil on Texas to take care of the drug maker because he took lots of campaign cash from them , what is he willing to force on America to payoff his 2012 campaign?
Six thousand dollars is "lots of campaign cash"...???
YOU LIE!
Six thousand dollars is “lots of campaign cash”...???
In some states apparenlty it is......... Hell it may be more than their annual wage and freebies combined... LOL
So...what’s your point? That all the Michigan people with no jobs left and came down to Texas?
