I left Jersey for Texas because of overburdening taxes, too much regulation on my wife’s business and for a bigger paycheck. Also didn’t hurt that I got the same 3k square foot home for 1/3 the price, 1/3 the taxes and they even threw in a discount for being a veteran.
Also feels good that on opening day, I am not dealing with wall to wall hunters shooting at the same 4 point buck as well as the loon chaining herself to said buck.
Yes, but sounds like you were a “red stater” at heart BEFORE you got to Texas, and didn’t bring the low information mindset with you.
Sadly too many move - run into just what you ran into - and yet cannot connect the dots from liberal NJ to conservative Texas, etc
