    6 Reasons Why Texas Trumps All Other U.S. Economies

    Now don't go getting any ideas about moving here but 6 Reasons Why Texas Trumps All Other U.S. Economies.

    ...Below are six reasons why I think Texas trumps all other U.S. economies.

    1. Texas is a manufacturing powerhouse



    2. Texas is the largest exporting state



    3. Texans enjoy the fastest income growth in the U.S.



    4. Texas is a global oil superpower



    5. Everyone wants to move to Texas



    6. Everyone wants a Texas home

    Don't follow that link because the one picture used is not San Antonio but Austin, lol.

    This is San Antonio: San Antonio, the nation’s fastest-growing city, sees downtown rebound.






    The River Walk in San Antonio.



    The San Pedro Creek Culture Park dubbed the ‘Latino High Line,”



    Farmer’s Market at The Pearl

    7) Sheer natural resources
    8) Cheap off the books labor very available.

    Texas is awesome. Libs infesting Austin want to change that.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Much of Texas's economic success is reliant on oil. I'm not sure they're doing anything special except for accidentally sitting on a natural resource.

    Don't get me wrong, I like Texas, Texans and their independent nature. It's an interesting state.

    Yes, lots of high tech along the Austin/San Antonio corridor, of course, Houston and Dallas too.

    $3B in oil and gas revenues that accrue to the state give it an advantage in keeping business and personal taxes down. It's also among the states with the highest income inequality.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    That's because of the immigration you're such a huge fan of.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
