Taxation: Governor Rick Perry took a lot of ridicule for his efforts to lure California’s tax-strangled businesses to his home state of Texas. If that’s so ridiculous, how come it’s his leftist critics showing all the hysteria?
Perry’s state is an undisputed economic success story and has been a magnet for businesses from all over the U.S. for several years now.
With no income tax, a legislature that balances its budget and a bureaucracy that seems conditioned to ask businesses “How can I help you?”, Texas’ biggest problem these days is finding enough office space to accommodate all the newcomers.
For that reason, it was grimly fascinating to see Perry visit California — which has just got done hiking taxes from 10.3% to 13.3% on top earners — attracting interest from more than 200 firms, which seem to be raring for what a Forbes columnist called a “reverse gold rush.”
“Gov. Brown may call it poaching,” said Perry, responding to Brown’s sour comparison of the visit to flatulence. “I just call it giving people an option of where they can locate their business and be able to keep more of their money.” That’s called reality.

We will take the companies in Texas; but, please leave your liberal-progressive employees there in California. We don’t want them voting here.
It would also be great for all US gun (and accessories) manufacturing companies to come to Texas or go to Alaska. Afterwards, let’s see the state s outlaw all sales to the US Government and to state government’s that oppose the second amendment of the US Constitution. All bow and spear manufactoring companies should move to Colorado and New York and be the sole suppliers for law enforcements that support the obamanation.
How plain can it be?????Attractive environments attract sensable people who aspire an environment where they can have a job that pays a proper wage which can support his needs and savings for future aspirations. Fairness and balance affords this however when those in charge fatten their cronies on the backs of taxpayers who will get fed up and leave for brighter horizons, One has to look at the migration patterns and the demographics to prove what is happening. Oddly enough the failures are run by liberals.
Don’t knock success, Gov. Perry’s got it.
REAL CALIFORNIA CHEESE is made in TEXAS . . HA HA HA – We give them JOBS and then they pay BIG federal taxes so they become CONSERVATIVES just like Arizona did.

Perry (Texas) is doing what the National Government should be doing. NO TAX, NO TAX. This would increase the job market & everyone would be happy.
Love Governor Perry!
My favorite memory from the recent presidential campaign was a Gov.Perry presser.
An air headed news nymph whined out to the gov,”Do you still carry a err gun?”
Gov. Perry said mater of factually, “That’s why it’s called a concealed carry permit.”
My only comment is the Left leaning liberals could learn a lot by following the examples set by the State of Texas and it’s Governor. Sadly, a lot of really nice folks have been led to believe the lies and deception of the current administration in our nation’s capitol.
Watch out Texas….Florida doesn’t have a state tax, and a lot of those Liberals moved down here and trying to change our southern customs, and way of doing things. It is vastly becoming just like the states they moved from…So sad!!! Thinking about moving to Texas myself!
In a republic such as ours, when a person is not satisfied with the political ideology of a particular state, that person can move to another state. Our federal government, at present, is attempting to negate that ability by creating a mass of regulation and federal law that will force all states into a homogeneous pot where one cannot escape to a less restrictive state. If the federal government becomes overly intrusive, the person can move to another country. When a federal government reaches a point where its citizens become slaves; they close their borders to force their citizens to remain.
The left is howling because they have not yet been able to force all the states into the same mold.
