We dont pay an emperor nanny Mayor. We are not taxed to death to cover union salaries. The cost of living is much cheaper in our state.

There are plenty of union employees in the state of Texas. The difference is it is a right to work state, making employees and employers a little more comfortable with each other.

we don't pay an emperor nanny mayor either. ours works for free, since he pays more in sales taxes than the mayoral annual salary.

of course the cost of living is cheaper: it's in the middle of nowhere.

What does your brother think about Texas food so far?

if you could walk to any fast food restaurant and get a gigantic burger for $5.00 made of the best beef you've ever tasted you'd have a tough time keeping your weight down too. of course if the people would walk on the sidewalks instead of the underground they would sweat off the weight.

That's an average genius. Which means many people in that state are averaging well over six figures.
