    Cutting regulations, offering huge tax breaks, slaps on the wrists for safety violations, and a 15 year old minimum wage does lure the rich to come here and get richer. Too bad the average Texan struggles in ways you could care less about. Money, money, money, for the politicians and their big supporters. That's all you care about Mr. Heartless. You could care less about the actual workers themselves.

    Certainly Texas has built up a good economy with things like low taxes and low regulations but how long are they willing to stick with a state that has bad infrastructure and policies that are opposed by some of the most creative members of the work force?

    It’s no accident the most booming parts of Texas are also the most liberal. People who tend to be very creative also happen to like more open and diverse cultures. Entrepreneurial immigrants tend to to like communities that are more accepting. All groups tend to like places that have reliable power and don’t flood.

    It shouldn’t surprise anyone then that Tesla moved its R&D back to CA. That should be a warning sign that business success isn’t guaranteed for the long term just relying upon low taxes and low regulations.

    Greg standing by that monument is so hypocritical.

    He has horrible moral character. He got a million or two from the tort case when a tree fell on him making his a paraplegic. He then became the useful poster boy for tort reform to make it very difficult for similar accident victims to be compensated like he was. This led him to his TX S.Ct stint and then Governorship. Only Repugs can not see the bad character shown here.
