"You're Hired!" Rick Perry Slogan

[LibocalypseNow]

Apparently according to this thread we NY'ers should pack up and move to Texas where we can work for 30% less,

but that's worth it, because cigarettes are cheaper there.

I got news for you. New Yorkers are moving. They're leaving in droves. Pretty soon all New York will have left is the selfish greedy Takers. You're beginning to see this in California as well. The Takers will always stay and demand their Freebies. But what happens when your productive Citizens leave? Who pays for all the Government Freebies then? California and New York are rapidly becoming Third World nightmares. They made a grave error in chasing all their productive Citizens out. My prediction is that most if not all Democratic-controlled areas of the country will eventually resemble Detroit. The Socialists/Progressives got it wrong Big-Time.

You know what the irony here is?

He's talking to New Yorkers.

The unemployment rate in Texas is 8%.

The unemployment rate in New York is 7.9%

The per capita income of Texas (2009) 36,484

The per capita income of New York 46,957

Perry doubled the debt while being a governor of Texas. He will make a fine candidate for the Republican Party.

And used the stimulus money he panned in order to balance his budget.

Gov. Rick Perry for president gains an endorsement

It's rather refreshing to read this article about Governor Rick Perry, R-TX:

“Many of our House Republicans are impressed with Gov. Perry’s record of conservative leadership and job creation,” Arkansas State Rep. David J. Sanders, R-Little Rock, said Tuesday. “As his neighbors to the northeast, we’ve taken particular interest in how Gov. Perry has focused on creating economic opportunity for Texans.”

The Arkansas lawmakers wrote that Mr. Perry could provide “the right kind of leadership” for the U.S. during uncertain economic times.​

Baloney. People have been fleeing CA, and that rate is only escalating as liberal policy drives them away.

More are leaving California to live elsewhere in the U.S. than are moving in.

They said, "Go west," but many Californians are going north and east.

For the fourth year in a row, more residents left the Golden State than moved here from other states, according to a report released Wednesday by the California Department of Finance.

You can buy a house for 60% less in Texas.

California and New York's Socialist/Progressive Democrats have made a grievous error in chasing their productive Citizens out of State. Who do they think is going to pay for all their Takers who will always be demanding their Government Freebies? Demonizing & punishing successful Businesses was a catastrophic error committed by Socialists/Progressives. The Takers are never leaving. They will always be there demanding their Freebies. But with the Producers leaving in droves,who's gonna pay for all those Freebies now? Just take a close look at Detroit. Because that really is what most if not all Democratic-controlled areas of the country will eventually look like. It's already starting to happen in California and New York. Unfortunately,Third World misery is all Californians & New Yorkers have to look forward to. Things are going to get much worse in these two States.

Thank god Moonbeam is governor again in CA. The last time Brown was governor, CA was an explosion of economic prosperity, education, and innovation, and he left the state with a budget surplus.

However, I am sure that you were more of a Meg Whitman fan.

Arnold's liberal environmental bill which was a mini cap and tax policy, drove businesses away nearly immediately after he signed it in 2006.

But you could continue to pretend you know what you are talking about.

Yeppers, my search of the net confirms that and better, sometimes, although it's going to be apples and oranges to some: 1 bedroom apt, NY $419,000 v. 5-bedroom dream home in Dallas-Ft. worth area, $170,000

Two years ago, we went for a phenomenal place within 100 miles of where I graduated from high school. We spent around the same amount you can get the claustrophobic apartment, plus we have a stable, arena, swimming pool, 2 creeks and a huge acreage. It took us a year to find a place large enough to hold our dining room furniture, a studio, an office, and a greenhouse with plenty of land to explore for beloved family kids.

It's been like living in heaven, especially around blackberry time.

Brown is not the answer. He's an old corrupt retread. And yes i do think Whitman would have been a better choice for California. She would have created Jobs. California made another catastrophic blunder choosing Brown. Third World misery is on the way for them. And that goes for New York too. It's actually very sad.

3rd Least Debt-Ridden State: Texas

The Lonestar State’s debt load may be low, but so are its coffers, and Texas cities and towns are feeling the pinch.

According to the office of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, “[Texas Comptroller Susan] Combs sent Texas cities $342.6 million in sales tax allocations, down 8.3 percent compared to November 2008. So far this calendar year, city sales tax allocations are down 4.2 percent compared to the same time period last year. Texas counties received November sales tax allocations of $28.2 million, down 14.5 percent compared to one year ago. For the calendar year-to-date, county sales tax allocations are running 3.7 percent below 2008 revenues.”

Total State Debt: $33,299,313,000

Total Population: 24,326,974

Debt per Resident: $1,368.82

8th Most Debt-Ridden State: New York

Remember: these are 2008 numbers and in the past year many states have seen their debt increase even more, and much of that is driven by deficits. New York is no exception.

As reported by Epoch Times, “Gov. David Paterson said that the state's budget deficit has turned out to be $21 billion, twice his original estimate. As a result, the state government will delay paying the debt for schools, counties and local governments.”

Gov. Patterson said this is the “largest escalation” of a state budget deficit in the nation’s history.

Total State Debt: $114,240,227,000

Total Population: 19,490,297

Debt per Resident: $5,861.39

There's one thing you're forgetting: New York is not Detroit. Detroit is a one-trick pony whereas NY is the Center of the Universe and the single most important place in America and the world. There's more opportunity, more to do here, and a higher standard of living than anywhere else.

People live here because they want to live here hence the high property values. The best always costs more.

Cap and trade is not a liberal idea. It is a conservative idea which doesn't properly address Global Warming. It just makes some firms winners at the expense of others.

Once again, you show how foolish you are.

Global Warming is very yesterday. It is called "Climate Change".


Get with the program.


I said it was a mini-cap and tax program. The rest of that liberal bill included lots of toxic liberal environazi regulation that drove business right out.

You could pretend it didn't...but for the first time, in 2007, more people were leaving than coming in, and that pattern has continued yearly.
