Best States for Doing Business in 2012 - #1 TEXAS

[Obama 2012 1,714]

That would make poverty disappear, right?

Why have a car if you can't afford it? Lets get rid of car loans. Why have a house if you can't afford it. Scrap mortgages too! Lets all live in caves and eat squirrels.

You can feel free to do so if that's your perogative.

If you live paycheck to paycheck and at the same time aren't stealing from the tax base to provide from your kids, then feel free to reproduce. However taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for your brats.

[Captain Oates 911]

Why are you having a child if you cannot afford one?

Only the 1% are allowed to breed..the rest are there to work in the factories - attracted to the south by the predator employment terms which are not only allowed but encouraged

I am sure the black slaves in 1860 were told how lucky they were no have a roof and food

Things don't change much down there

My boss in Atlanta told me I should not have ANY vacations because "you have two vacation days every week - Saturday and Sunday"

My co-worker there had not even had a saturday or sunday off since xmas - and it was April !

Yes I know the flavor of the south

[Darnell 8,478]

'the south' isn't Texas.

I humbly ask that you keep Texas out of your geographical divides in the future. Thanks in advance !

That's funny. I choose where I work and get my 2 days off a week, work 8-5 M-F, get 2 weeks paid vacation every year, health benefits, dental, etc... Damn and I have no union to help me out with this either.

For the ignorant who don't know how to find a job or get a skill, then perhaps they should be happy with what they have.

If you're poor, you should be happy with that!!!

...even US geography students know that Texas is in the South and Maine is in the North - and that Texas was (is ?) in the confederacy

If you're poor, you should be happy with that!!!

Wife has a couple of Cadillacs - nothing fancy

Grover Norquist is the poorest man in the US

If there were spiritual food stamps - he would be on them

professional demographic counters DO NOT COUNT TEXAS as being in 'the south' .

Nice try, though.

Just like Ann Romney.

Are you really Mittens in disguise?

I love poor people. I think we need more of them.

You won't believe my new handle come October when I am allowed it

In the first war, the Germans put up a sign "gott mit uns" (god with us)

The English put up a sign "We have got mittens too !"

[Captain Oates 911]

I was dirt poor

The Government, who I love, gave me a grant to go to college and it was bigger than most people earned but only about $15k total

By the 1990's I was paying $50,000 a year in tax - year after year after year

The American Government is being commercially stupid given the vast returns they could make if they would invest in their own people. They could make 50 to one returns on their investment

The rest of the world looks on in pity at the reactionary stupidity of right wing policies and with sorrow for the poor US Citizens despised by 50% of their fellow citizens. At the same time they are relieved that poor US Citizens are not being developed to the level where they can compete with these countries

[Harsh_77 718]

If you worked for some crappy employer does not mean the rest of them are same.

I proved you with the number what you jabbering is not correct all the time.

I know why firms move to an area

Its either because there is a compliant beaten down un-unionised workforce willing to work for peanuts - China /vietnam/texas

Or a source of highly skilled highly paid unionized technical workers - eg Germany
