come to Texas!


So Rick Perry is on yet another "bidniss" trip trying to convince businesses to come to Texas.  He is so proud of our "right to work" status, which actually means "right to pay lower wages" of course (and "right to circumvent regulations").  

If you relocate here, maybe you can move to a small town and destroy it by not adhering to any regulations, too!  The GOP state lege won't mind!


If the business climate is so incredibly good, why aren't businesses already just flocking here?  One reason is we have a largely ignorant, poorly-trained workforce.  Texas high schools are lucky to graduate 50% of their students, and half of those still can't read and write at an age-appropriate level.  

Texas has the most and highest percentage of children in poverty, smallest percentage of people with healthcare, and we're tied with Mississippi for fewest teeth per capita.  Yeeeha!  What a state!  (Of decay)
