And we're laughing at your population boom you can't handle, as well as your illegal immigration problem. And not to mention the drug problem that so many Texans say that is so rampant with Mexico being right there.
It works both ways. Nothing wrong with welfare and helping people either. I don't care that we're a "welfare state" or whatever you call it.
New York seems to have a lot more problems than Texas though, at least peering from the outside looking in. Texas unemployment is 8.0% (way below the national average) and has a much lower budget deficit than New York, but with more people to spend money on. In fact New York has the second highest taxes in the country (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...d=aOvmVzcX6vg0) yet its deficit is much worse. How is it possible to have much higher taxes yet have much worse deficits? Something is seriously wrong with the way your state is being run.

The population boom is good and bad since it is gratifying to know that so many people would rather be in Texas than washed up backward states like NY, but at the same time it is an awful lot of people to absorb at once
According to a recent thread, the Texans were saying how the drug problem in Texas is way worse in NY. Good, you guys can have the drug problems
If people would rather be in Texas, then "washed up backwards states" like NY wouldn't have as high of a population as it does, now would it? All those thousands upon thousands of people moving to NYC also must not mind living in this "washed up backward state" of NY Ask people from around the country, and they'll say Texas is one of the most backwards states in the country.

According to people I have personally talked to, and having lived in both states, the drug problem is even worse in NY than Texas
Look up domestic population gains concerning NYC by the way. You will see that within America, NYC is losing population. The growth comes from other countries, usually 2nd and 3rd world countries. To them, NY IS better than their home country
I have asked people around the country and the only ones that think TX is backwards are the far left wackjobs. Who cares what they think anyways, half of them are on crack anyways

Here's one non-city data poll result:
result #33244 - WHAT IS THE MOST BACKWARDS STATE IN AMERICA? - BestAndWorst.com (http://www.bestandworst.com/r/33244.htm - broken link)
That 2nd link was about Bush, not TexasBesides, Bush was educated at an Ivy league school which is..... in the NortheastThe first link was pure stereotype.... just like YOU rely on instead of fact

And no, ask the Texans on this board, and they ALL said that the drug problem in TX is a lot worse for obvious reasons--it's on the Mexican border. I don't think that many drugs are being snuck in through Canada...lol. Quit trying to get ahead because it won't work with me.

Reason: Leave out the rude comments, ok?
lol now you're going by post count? That seems very desperate. You ever think most of those posts are from the locals? I just looked at a few threads and most of the posts. 90% from Texans. Look and see where the posts are from on the NY board. Count for me how many threads there are about moving to Texas in the last 2 days, and get back me, k thanks
I have to laugh at this because Texas has the highest positive domestic migration in the country. It is the #1 destination to move to from other states. And New York state happens to be dead last at #50 with far more people leaving than coming.
I can't believe I'm defending Texas. Never even been there. But facts are facts and I had to post this considering the irony that people are arguing that dead last #50 is more popular than #1.
Right...because you've traveled all around the country discussing this with people. You're just a kid who lived in NY until they were 2 years old and have lived in TX since.

I'm off to bed since i have a job to teach grade school, not go to it like some do on this board.
um.. who cares? let ppl live where ever THEY wanna live. You can talk about how much you think NY is the best state ever as much as you want, but its not going to change anyones mind. The ppl who like living in TX are always gonna like it, the ppl who like living in any state is always going to like there state. stop being so narrow minded and realize that not everyone likes the same things that you like.. No offense.
