Jealous of what? Texas is number one in minimum wage jobs, uninsured workers, most EPA violations for clean air and clean water, most children living in poverty, highest number of dropouts. The state is a cesspool. A few rich and the rest poor, and living in poverty.

Petroleum is certainly up there in the top exports but it was not the top export in 2010. Of course it may not be now since the price of petroleum products are increasing.

Note: I assume gas is a merchandise since it has been refined from oil.

Texas's export shipments of merchandise in 2010 totaled $207.0 billion.

The state's largest market was Mexico. Texas posted merchandise exports of $72.6 billion to Mexico in 2010, 35 percent of the state’s total merchandise exports. Mexico was followed by Canada ($18.8 billion), China ($10.3 billion), Brazil ($7.2 billion), and Korea ($6.4 billion).

The state's largest merchandise export category is computers and electronic products, which accounted for $39.2 billion of Texas's total merchandise exports in 2010. Other top merchandise exports are chemicals manufactures ($38.9 billion), petroleum and coal products ($33.1 billion), machinery manufactures ($26.4 billion), and transportation equipment ($18.7 billion).

Texas is near the top (if not on the top) of job creation. Many, many companies choose to relocate there. And why is that?

A lot of it has to do with the low wages in a RTW state. There are simply more people willing to work for sub-standard wages.

Another reason is because of their Workers Comp laws that heavily favor the employers at the expense of the workers. The more they screw the workers the better the profit margin for companies.

Last year a Texas cop was shot point blank by a shotgun while on duty. A helicopter was called to get him the fastest transport to the hospital which may have saved his life. Yet the Workers Comp insurance said the helicopter was not "medically necessary" so the cop would be responsible for the cost.

Screwing workers increases the profit margin of companies in Texas so I can see why companies want to relocate there. And I don't blame them. But I'm shocked that the voters there would continue to stand for it.

Gas, other fuels are top U.S. export

Measured in dollars, the nation is on pace this year to ship more gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel than any other single export, according to U.S. Census data going back to 1990. It will also be the first year in more than 60 that America has been a net exporter of these fuels.

Just how big of a shift is this? A decade ago, fuel wasn't even among the top 25 exports. And for

Gasoline is the number one export.

And as the price goes up so does their export figures.

the only good thing to ever come out of Texas was an empty greyhound bus.

 

[Moonglow]

if we export so much fuel, then don't ***** at Obama for high fuel prices.

No way. Democrats set the standards of criticism.

Own it!!!

In Texas, criminals are placed in jail, and the worst ones are executed instead of going into politics.

Sorry, those "children living in poverty" are in Head Start facilities, built by Texans for Texans being fed and educated into useful students, ready to compete successfully for good grades in first grade when they're done.

Dropouts? Do you think you can get college graduates to push a broom for everyone else, sanitization jobs, growing crops, maintaining parks, or any type of manual labor for hire? If people can't handle the rigors of going to school, there are other careers, and they pay enough to raise a family. Could it be the Democrats like you have lost touch with people who do jobs the elite do not acknowledge? Tell me.

You think a state is a cesspool when it has a lot of poor people living there? You really think poorly of people with little advantages, don't you. Well, you can look down on conservatives in this board with your lording-over them your phony largess, but you're not furnishing statistics to back up your patronizing opinions.

You're living in the past about clean air and clean water. While you were hating him, Texas Governor (and U. S. President, later) George W. Bush busied himself eliminating brownfields and getting the businesses who put them there to foot the bill instead of taxpayers.

WHAT??? BUSINESSES FOOTING THE BILLS INSTEAD OF TAXES??? OMG!!! CALL THE SPIN ROOM!!! CALL HARRY REID!!! CALL NANCY PELOSI!!!! CALL CHUCKIE SCHUMER!!! THE PEOPLE MUST NOT KNOW GEORGE BUSH WAS AN ENVIRONMENTALIST PRESIDENT!!!!

Any other airhead critiques filled with obfuscations of reality against my state you'd like to foist on thinking people around here, Mr. rdean?

Did it ever occur to you the low wages could result from our need to deal with a half million illegal immigrants a year coming here? Mexico shoots dead the immigrants coming over their southern borders to escape Marxist countries in central America. Texas gives them jobs, school, hospital care, etc. We don't turn people away, but we get criticized because it changes our statistics which Democrats use to prove their frivolous imaginings could be fact. It doesn't do that.

Our state motto is friendship, and we are friendly and accommodating to people who come here to live.
