It Ain't Braggin'...

@Fool,

I was wondering what sort of finagling you thought they were trying to pull with raw population numbers. My whole point is that people are "voting with their feet".

By the way, the number one location for California companies to relocate to, or to divert capital for facilities that in the past used to be built in California, is Texas .....

All I can say about Texas is too bad for them. People can see who my college team is

[tkobo]

...Texas added circa 165,000 jobs in the last three years, where as California lost roughly 1.2 million in the same time period. California's jobless rate is 12% compared to 8% in Texas.....

Maybe it is because I am Texan... Too bad why exactly? College sports? I'll take jobs any day.

Welcome back Bergsjaeger!

Since the recession officially ended, Texas has created more than 4 of every 10 new jobs in America.

Texas generated 43% of the net new jobs in the U.S. from June 2009 through May 2011

Texas has no individual income tax or corporate income tax

The Texas Constitution places severe restrictions on passage of an individual income tax and use of its proceeds.

And texas has manged to maintain this with a steadily growing population....a large portion of which is coming to them from other states.Many of those as unemployed...

...and texas is ranked number 2,for "best cost of living".That is, they are the second best state,at which you get more for your money when it comes to living expenses.

As usual, the Feds and the Econihilists want to strangle any Human success. As they crushed Central California's farming, so they seek to crush Texas' (and New Mexico's) Oil industry. All for some pissant little lizard...

The Permian Basin produces nearly 20 percent of the nation's crude oil and the region's reserves are second only to those in Alaska.

At less than 3 inches long, the light brown lizard lives in a small area of shinnery oak dunes in northeastern Chaves County, Roosevelt County, eastern Eddy and southern Lea counties in New Mexico and in a narrow band in Gaines, Ward, Winkler and Andrews counties in Texas.

They messed up of course... Because Texans will simply head out there and kill the little useless pieces of crap off. Maybe we can just stomp on them, maybe just spray each one we find with WD40 or used motor oil...

Three of the nation’s ten best public high schools are in Texas—the no-income tax, right-to-work state that blue model defenders like to characterize as America at its worst.

Top school in the country....

School of Science and Engineering Magnet Dallas

http://www.semagnetschool.org/academics ... ements.jsp

All students who attend DISD schools are eligible to apply to and attend the school free of charge. All students fill out applications and are ranked by several criteria and the top performing students are chosen to be invited to attend the school.

Requirements:
To be placed in the initial selection pool, each student must have a GPA of 80 in the core subjects of English, math, science and social studies.
To be placed in the second selection pool, each student must pass standardized tests (i.e. ITBS, Stanford 9) with a score of at least 160 points total for math and reading combined. (No score lower than 65th percentile).

To be placed in the final selection pool, each student must:
A. Pass an on-site English essay exam, timed for a maximum of two hours and held under SEM supervision. (40% of total).
B. Pass an on-site math exam consisting of problems, untimed and held under SEM supervision. (40% of the total).
C. Pass an on-site personal interview with SEM personnel. (20% of total).

No surprise why they would #1 when they only take the best students......

I don't recall any laws against such Magnet schools in Liberal states (or are you claiming that Progressive Education mandates that one criminal, mentally retarded, or mentally disturbed student be enrolled with each intelligent, hard working student?). It is hardly a new or uniquely Texan idea. So, the playing field being equal, Texas still won.
