If you read the article you would know the group and a politician has sent a bill to be considered.

I think people misconstrue TX ability. Yes, it's large but a nice chunk of its economy is military. You succeed, military pulls out and you're stuck trying make up for it somehow. Will there be some corporations that stay, yes, but there will be some that head back to the US and maybe some that move from the US to TX but will it be enough. Gone will be the federal matching funds, you all do realize the feds match a lot of initiatives. It may not be as fully sustainable as one may think.

Then just GO already! It's getting boring hearing this over and over again. Less talk, more ACTION! If you want to leave, then leave! No one will miss you.

Yeah! Send off the right wing wackos to Texas and then let us build a ginormous fence around it. We can put faces of prominent Democrats on the outside of it, like Obama and Hillary, so that they wont even come close to trying to cross it.

Texas would have a military,Army,Navy,Air Force. Matching funds? OHHH you mean the taxes the government steals from the states and then turns around and gives it back to them...

I suspect the business people and the sane people of Texas cringe whenever they see this stuff. It does nothing but drive away convention business, tourism and potential relocations. Businesses don't want anything to do with this kind of political climate. Ask Arizona. Business is in overdrive trying to stifle the right wing morons in the AZ legislature and their antics.

Me, I love it. The more the nutjobs of the GOP turn the nation off with their stupidity, the less likely the GOP will be to hold high office for a looooong time.
