Texas is a pure fantasy land for me. Compared to California? Well... A lot more land, a lot less people occupying it... A lot more trucks, burning much less expensive gas... A lot more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens and a lot less in the hands of criminals... CA you'll be paying 7.50% sales tax on top of an 8% state income tax, TX you'll be paying 6.25% sales tax on top of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... I'll see your Arnold Schwarzenegger and raise you Chuck Norris and Clint Eastwood... Both are warm enough for me to sweat my balls off 12 months out of the year at the southern end of the state and cold enough to freeze them off in the winter on the northern end... We don't have the beaches, the surfing or the women that CA does but the Gulf water is piss-warm year round and Nancy Pelosi doesn't live here. So to answer your question, Texas is treating me like I only wish the rest of America could be treated!
