People ask me, “Why Texas?” My quick answer is, “Because it isn’t California.” That of course is not a complete statement. As I was going over the Republican ballot for the primary election in March I realized that the propositions on it were as good a reason to move to Texas as I have ever seen. I don’t know if passing them will put them on the general election ballot or whether it is just a straw vote. Either way, this is why I came to Texas
Here are the propositions, paraphrased, but not much:
1. Replace property tax with consumption tax
2. No toll roads without a vote
3. Republican nominee for speaker of the house chosen with no Democrat input
4. E-verify for new employees
5. Allow school choice to include all options
6. Bathroom privacy for women and children
7. Abolish abortion
8. Make vote fraud a felony
9. Complete repeal of Obamacare
10. Tax revenue increases capped at 4%
11. No tax dollars for professional sport team arenas
This may only be a Republican dream but it is a totally different attitude from the go along/get along attitude of Republicans in California.
Next question?
