Texas Kicks Butt

The Dallas Morning News reports Bureau of Labor Statistics data which shows Texas created the most jobs of any state in September (36,400). It also created the most of any state in the last 12 months (413,700). Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.

Texas' zero state income tax, low car registration fees combined with low housing costs and a right to work law make it an attractive place to locate a business. Governor Rick Perry deserves much credit for publicizing Texas' positive business climate.

If you've ever been recruited by a TX employer, you know they'll tell you straight out they'd have to offer you 10% more in CA in order for you to take home the same net pay. You may suspect them of blowing smoke up your whatever but you'd be wrong - what they say is true.
