'California is looking at our backside,' Texas Gov. Rick Perry says in San Francisco

137. I hate having to repeat myself.

Your beef with Texas seems to be that there are companies here that do bad things. Hello? There are companies all over the world that do bad things. Enron could very well have been located in California, had they greased the right hands. I guess then you'd have to find some other Texas-based boogieman to fuel your bashing.

Has it ever occurred to you that one reason Texas might seem more business-friendly is because the businesses have managed to get themselves into our politics deeper, much the same way they do with the federal government? I'm going to make an educated guess here that the tech companies in California have done similar backroom deals over the decades. No, that can't be proven, but as I say, it's an educated guess.

Corporations do dirty deals everywhere.
Oh, and here's something you might want to read about Gov. Goodhair's success with business in Texas:

And thus, my educated guess above.
