We are going to end up being a Republic again. Our legislature has to approve staying in the Union every year, or the Union is automatically dissolved. Texas would be better off by itself. Them's the facts.

Our economy here is, well ,booming!Personally I don't see any of the high unemployment the rest of the country is complaining of, and entry level oilfield work is paying 14-20 an hour for new hires. If you want to work, this is the state to do it it , too. There are fewer taxes and laws that protect consumers.

Texas is different. Here I can shoot an asshole if he breaks in through my window in the middle of the night, and just call the cops to come scrape up the carcase.

Here we are raised to believe in personal responsibility, the cops clean up after crimes, they don't prevent them.
