Actually we Texans should not expound on our pluses but our negatives to CA citizens. Do we really want their style of tax and spend invading our great state ? I don't.
No one doubts the beauty of CA but many are not familiar with our Mountains, Beaches, Palo Duro Canyon, Big Bend and all the beautiful TX features.
I'm OK with CA people who love the state staying there. Good luck with pulling the state out of bankruptcy, I don't see how they can tax you any more than they currently do.
Money wise, CA reminds me of an Alcoholic who needs to hit bottom before they wake up and make the commitment to improve.
actually I think Californians are hop heads not alkies [take another puff & everything looks fine so we'll worry tomorrow!

LOL....When California stop out of control spending and cut taxes Texas is going to be shaking in it's boots , believe me "and" Texas can't hold a candle to California as far as beauty is concerned.... trust me I'm from Baja Texas (Oklahoma) 1952- 1976.
A person has to pay to live in California & for most it is worth every penny. Living in Texas is for those who do not want to pay for the California lifestyle.
I guess you could say Texas is for those who think paying for the CA lifestyle is no longer worth is also. Things change, it is a fact of life.
Pro business IS pro employee. No business, no jobs. Where's your examples of big business exposing its work force to cancer causing agents? California is committing fiscal suicide with its outrageous environmental regulations.
If you make your work force "smear" themselves with PETROLEUM
JELLY you are exposing them to a "cancer causing agent" (if you do not tell them of the risks) of Petroleum Jelly....LOL....There are so many "case in point" that I don't know where to start..!
As a kid growing up in Fort Worth, TX I had a strong wander lust. I just wanted to get out and see the rest of the world. After doing so with a hitch in the service I'm quite happy to live here again.
The major cities of Texas have always had relatively stable to thriving economies my whole life. Even in down periods things were not that bad. And there has always been a very strong entrepreneurial spirit here that is tough to match.
Also, we're a lot more progressive than people might otherwise imagine. Austin, TX is one of the most progressive cities in the nation -a great place to live if you can afford it. The cost of living has gone up dramatically over the last 15 yrs or so.
Yeah 9 of the top 10 Economies of the United States of America are in either Texas or Baja Texas "surrounding states" Oklahoma , Louisana , Arkansas , New Mexico Check Out The Link Below!
California will never be able to go head to head with TEXAS because CALIFORNIA is the most expensive state in the UNION to live in , and has too many enviormental friendly laws.
