(11,153 posts)just leave your conspiracies and ignorance at the State Line. If your planning on coming here to act like an Asshole - we have plenty and they are on their way out. The crazy white folks in Texas day's are numbered - come here and bring your progressive attitudes with you.

(15,630 posts)That's where the job sent me the first time, and where it sent my husband the second time. Also, my experience was that we didn't actually pay noticeably less in taxes in Texas than we do now, in a state with a reputation for high taxes. When all the various state and local taxes were added up, it ended up being pretty much a wash.

What gypsy crone or irony driven elder god did you piss off?

(72,515 posts)I was prepared to be offended by that.
Then I remembered: I pretty much dump on Texas all the time, so who am I to get miffed?

(6,439 posts)Local fees/taxes and all of the toll roads fill in for the no state income tax.
I've often thought that living in south Texas (San Antonio) wouldn't be bad. Mild winters, 2 hours from the Gulf, less crazies than Florida and Arizona.

(12,093 posts)company based in Houston for a couple of years. Once I called down to order a wedding set. I told the woman to send it to our store in Iowa.
We aint got no stores in Idaho, she said.
Not Idaho. Iowa.
We aint got no store in Ohio, neither.
Not Ohio. Iowa. I O W A. Iowa.
There aint no such state as Iowa, declared the obvious fourth grade dropout.
In fairness, when I had her bring into the call the VP in charge of my division, he did a splendid job of giving her an impromptu geography lesson.

(1,057 posts)In Texas, you don't register with a party. You just register to vote. You can vote only in one primary per election, but even if you vote in a particular party's primary, you are not registered as a party member. You are only prevented to from voting in another party's election during that one election cycle.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
