I have a more optimistic view of Texas. The Kali crowd moving there has been mostly the conservative and 2nd amendment types. It usually doesn't take long to indoctrinate most foreign cultures to the "Texas Philosophy".

Oddly, it seems the most difficult to convert are the Muslims and Hindi. They keep to themselves for the first generation and seem to have little desire to acclimate outside of the working environment. It is mostly the second generation of those groups that take to the “Texan” attitude. (My high school girlfriend’s father was from Bombay, Avionics Engineer for the Military)

Most of the Orientals, especially the Koreans, pick up the “Texas” ideals almost at once. Europeans can take a few years but usually come around. The Hispanics convert right to the “Tex-Mex” and “Texas Cowboy” ways right off the bat.

A state income tax will never pass a vote in Texas. You would see a revolt first.

Apparently you haven't seen the voting patterns of the southern counties, places like El Paso?

Sure it will, those who do not pay taxes will gladly vote for the goodies that they do not have to pay for. Why do you think the ILLEGALS are flowing across our borders?
