If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book, but you don't have to show ID for the right to vote on who runs the government ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If, in the largest city of the country (NY), you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because the government says a 24-ounce sugary drink might make you fat ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hi-jab is only subject to having her neck and head searched because of her religion ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher’s "cute," but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If hard work and success is rewarded with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing, and free cell phones ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If the government's plan for getting people back to work is to reward them with 99 weeks of unemployment checks with no requirement to prove they applied for it ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more "safe" according to the government ...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If you are offended by this article, then I'll bet you voted for the idiots who are running and "ruining" our great country!

Why is it so easy to convince the right of anything using bumper stickers and unconsidered comparisons?

You may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas. ~ Davy Crockett
Click to expand...

1) Low Taker Vs. Maker Ratio


I recently found an interesting post that explores the state “taker versus maker” ratio. This ratio compares private employees (makers) with public sector employee and welfare recipient (takers) for all fifty states. Texas has a low ratio, meaning public sector salaries and welfare costs are under control.


2) Low Taxes


Texas has no personal or corporate income tax. Property taxes can be higher, but in general, property prices are lower. Of course, you could avoid property taxes altogether by renting. Texas does have a state sales tax, which can be as high as 8.25% depending on the county and city. Some people avoid sales tax by buying big-ticket items online, although Texas is trying to put a stop to that practice.


3) Low Cost Of Living


You hear many people complain that Texas has low-wage jobs. Well, it is true that wages can be lower in Texas. However, the cost of living is lower as well. It evens out. You do not need to spend much to have a good quality of life in here. Food, rent, and health care costs are lower. Gas and utilities are cheaper. Lighter business regulation means it costs less money to start up and run a business. Can you run your business remotely? Take advantage of geo-arbitrage by living in a cheaper state while earning money from more expensive ones.


4) Cheaper Real Estate


Texas is massive. It has always been land-rich (and historically, cash-poor). There is just more land land here, so Texas real estate is cheaper when compared to other many other coastal states. Out-of-state residents can do well selling higher priced property and then using the proceeds to buy cheaper Texas houses and land. Of course, there are expensive areas, but most middle-class people will be able to find an affordable piece of Texas to call home.


5) Low Unemployment


Texas has low unemployment rates. It helps that so many companies come here, bringing new jobs with them. Some argue that jobs in Texas are low paying, and do not offer health insurance. Consider the fact that Texas has a very young population. Included in the employment figures are data for high school kids and underage workers. These jobs typically pay less, and do not offer insurance. That skews the data.


6) Weak Unions


Texas does have unions. The state is not immune to union action as we saw with the recent union showdown at Hostess in Dallas. Historically though, Texas has been unfriendly to unions. Texas is a right to work state. Want to join a union? No one will stop you. But unlike in some other, less enlightened states, no one can force you join a union here. Texas is a good place to work if you value your personal freedom and don’t like being forced to join obsolete organizations.


7) Good Schools


Despite what you may have heard, Texas has a strong education system. Texas takes care of minority and economically disadvantaged students as graduation rates show. Some people like to portray Texans as just a bunch of dumb hillbillies, but these numbers are hard to deny. Texas is also home to many world-class colleges including the University of Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, and Rice University. Texas also allows parents the freedom to home-school their children.


8) Friendly People


I’ve lived in California, New Jersey, and Texas. And I’ve traveled to numerous foreign countries. I can tell you that most Texans are very friendly and down-to-earth. Race relations in Texas are good and most Texans are very tolerant of others. The larger cities in here are incredibly diverse.


9) Respect For The 2nd Amendment


In Texas, you have the right to defend yourself. You can own and carry a gun. You do not need a permit or license to buy a firearm in Texas. You do need a permit to carry a concealed handgun. Texas is a Shall Issue state, which means it is relatively easy for law-abiding citizens to get a concealed handgun license.


10) Very Little Snow


I love snow. But after spending three winters living on the East Coast, I’d had enough. It barely snows in Texas. When it does snow, it is light when compared to the East Coast or Northern states. If you have ever spent time living up North, I do not have to explain why this is attractive.


If you are a person who values your freedom then Texas is a great place to be. It has some downsides, mainly the weather. And fire ants. But overall, the pros out weigh the cons. Are you sick of your state and its ridiculous rules and taxes? Sell your house, quit your job, and pack your car. Come start over in Texas!

And if Junius P. Long can do nothing but conflate local law with Federal jurisdiction, joblessness with laziness, and international policy with domestic problems, then he must be..... an idiot.
