Why Move To Texas???

Okay lets just say EP is a beautiful, wealthy city, home of the rich and the affluent, with its pristine beaches on the Rio Grande, its lush forests and rolling hills.

Soooo,

You have no stats to back up your observations? Hey if you hate the place, no problem. Not everyone likes everything. But don't make up stuff to justify your position.

Did you do the research on his company, or did you just pull that out of your ass TTH? Originally Posted by Boltfan

Nationally, not just in low costs States like Texas, the average for a personal care attendant is $9.22. Home health care aide is $9.84. Middle 50 percentile is $7.81 and $10.98 an hour and $8.52 and $11.69 an hour.

I think my UE check from TX is more, $415 per week, all for the ladies, that's the maximum you can get I believe

So, TTH, you did make a generalization without specific facts, just like you did when you accused me of hiring discrimination without any factual basis to make such a claim. You have no idea what jobs he brought to Texas. Some certainly could be those type yet you poo-poo'd the entire job creation in the article as irrelevant.

1 of 4 people don't have health insurance.

You don't listen well, do you? I'm currently representing three home health care aids who hurt themselves. None of the companies have workers' comp. I'm suing the employer. All three are making minimum wage (or within a dollar of it). That's not a generalization. That's my personal experience.

Then, when you raised the issue, I mentioned that personal experience. Finally, to confirm what I had observed personally, I found BLS statistics that showed national averages very consistent with what I wrote.

As for the executive quoted, at least according to the article, his business is home health care. One assumes that in that business, they hire home health care aides. What the fuck else would they do? Hire astronauts for NASA?

What part of that sounds like something that is "without any factual basis"?

But lets just look at the record. Texas leads the country in percentage of minimum wage jobs.

Massachusetts created more jobs in terms of percentages, however. And they were better jobs.

Furthermore, despite Perry's anti-government rhetoric, the reason that jobs have been created during the down turn, is not because of private industry hiring, but because government was hiring.



And of course the reason government was hiring was because Perry, despite his supposed ideological opposition, had his snoot deep in the Federal stimulus trough to make himself look better for a run at the Presidency.

Go TTH, you're on a roll.
Sadly enough its not really the roll that some blind people here like to see.
But blind people can't see anyway, don't blame them for trying.

Actually I wouldn't expect people here on this forum to be so fanatic in defending people like Perry or Bachmann or any other republican ass.
If we ever want our hobby to be accepted in the US then the first thing that comes to mind is ousting all republicans forever.

How can you be a good christian republican who teaches his kids of the bible and then sneeks out the door to visit his ATF who is 30 years younger, sexy, passionate, beautiful and in for a wild erotic ride?
Just some food for thought!!!

And of course there are always these reasons to move to Texas....

I post positive statistics and you post some negative stats !

The bottom line, and fact you are ignorning, is that the Democraticly controlled states of places like California and Michigan are collapsing....their government model of balloning entitlements, over taxation, and over regulation is destroying their middle class.....

Their own citizens are fleeing these states to places like Texas !!

The fact is that a middle class household (earning $60K to $90K) can afford a much better lifestyle in Texas than they can in California !

More affordable neighobrhoods, affordable homes, affordable private schools, affordable healthcare, affordable domestic help, etc !

Of course he isn't hiring NASA engineers, only a fucktard would try to make that stick as an insult. But have you ever heard of sales representatives. accountants, sales managers, warehouse staff, etc. You have no idea how big his business may be. Maybe he was simply relocating his corporate office only. Holy shit, what a fucking concept.

You assumed the worst.

Heck, Bolt, opinions can be different, but the numbers of the types of jobs created (imported?) are pretty much what they are and anyone's opinion regarding that statistic is really irrevalent.
