<p>[quote user="CMStPnP"]Incentives are not the whole package that convinces companies to move to Texas, put this in your pipe and smoke it: 1. Houses on a square footage basis are probably 40-50% cheaper in Texas than most Northern states. 2. City Hall works for the most part in Texas. You can actually call City Hall down here in Texas and actually get immediate response or action to your concerns. Unlike the Northern states where response is based on income level and how much you contributed to past political campaigns. 3. Texas Rangers. Kill a cop in Texas and the Rangers are after you and they usually always get their fugitive. No other state has them. 4. Government does not try to become an unwanted partner in the running of small business. Texas attempts to simplify small business formation as well as regulation in an attempt to increase employment.....and it works. 5. Texas is a Law and Order state along with respect your LEO state. If you break the law habitually or disrespect an officer in uniform your typically going to do time behind bars. Really that's how it should be everywhere but some states would rather side with the habitual criminal and their rights. [/quote]</p> <p>Yep!</p>
