I think Texas ranks first in the number of high school football players signing scholarships.
On the other hand, Florida is first percentage wise and no other state is close.
I’ll take 2nd best in terms of business climate. That’s still damn good. Anybody notice Florida and Texas manage to consistently be the best and run their state governments WITHOUT a state income tax?
Yes it CAN be done. You don’t have to tax the beejezus out of everyone and load up on a money sucking public sector complete with labor unions that stick their grubby paws ever deeper into the taxpayers’ wallets.
You also don’t need reams of environmental regulations that are expensive for companies to comply with, in order to have a relatively clean environment.
