"What they'll say is, 'Well it costs too much money,' but you know what? It would cost, about.
It it would cost about the same as what we would spend. It. Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us.
All right. Okay. We're going to do it. It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about… hold on one second. I can't hear myself. But I'm glad you're fired up, though. I'm glad. "~Barack Obama

Texas
***
"Texas has a "low taxes, low services" reputation. According to the Tax Foundation, Texans' state and local tax burdens rank among the lowest in the nation, 7th lowest nationally; state and local taxes cost $3,580 per capita, or 8.4% of resident incomes.
Texas is one of seven states that lack a state income tax. Instead, the state collects revenue from a state property tax and sales tax, which is charged at the rate of 6.25%, but local taxing jurisdictions (cities, counties, special purpose districts, and transit authorities) may also impose sales and use tax up to 2% for a total maximum combined rate of 8.25%. Texas is a "tax donor state"; in 2005, for every dollar Texans paid to the federal government in federal income taxes, the state received approximately $0.94 in benefits.
In 2010, Site Selection Magazine ranked Texas as the most business-friendly state in the nation, in part because of the state's three-billion-dollar Texas Enterprise Fund. Texas has the joint-highest number of Fortune 500 company headquarters in the United States, along with California.
In 2010, there were 346,000 millionaires in Texas, constituting the second-largest population of millionaires in the nation. "source: Wikipedia

And TEXAS loves you! Looking forward to more visiting today!
Awwww,,,you are too kind, beautiful lady! (((Hugs)))
Well, so far I didn’t quite make it to Pelican Bay Resort; just missed TheMom’s famous enchiladas; missed out on the hummingbird feeding frenzy at TheMom’s TheMom’s house; and didn’t even get into spirited exchanges at the Rockport GOP headquarters. I’m missing everything.
Hottie? Bah! You need you eyes checked. :)
I tell you what ... y’all are the best bunch of folks I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute with you. I’m having a blast.
Jim’s right. FReepers are the best. I’m honored to know you.
Thank you very much, BuckeyeTexan!! A real pleasure meeting you. Great breaking bread and shooting with you!!
Ping to 252. Y’all are included. I knew your first names but had to ask for your FReeper handles. :)
It has been a pleasure spending time with you and all the others at the Memorial Shoot. We DO know how to have fun, huh! :)
Your sentiments are very sweet and powerful in their sincerity and their ability to delight.
Your presence at this event changed its character completely. You have changed things so much for the better, and I am proud and delighted to call you a dear friend.
You ARE one good lookin’ Texan, sweetie!
It was a pleasure to meet you.
Don’t be a stranger.
You are one Hella Road Warrior!
Garsh....
It was great to meet you and Bryan and good to know than whenever I go home I can stop in and visit you. I drive through your town on the way home from the Pittsburgh Airport whenever I go home and consider your town to be the final land mark when I turn onto route 46 that takes me home to the home stomping grounds.
