Twelve Things I Like About Texas (#7 and #8)

By | November 20, 2009

7. Sweet tea.  This needs no explanation.  I like it that every McDonalds, every Wendys, every-whatever has sweet tea.  This is a taste of heaven.  (And yes, they also have Dr. Pepper.  Everywhere.)

8. Texas has no state income tax.  That means no forms, no filing, and no paying.  California, just to note one point of contrast, raises your withholding rate even though tax rates haven’t changed.  Let me tell you this: you don’t need the 2010 census to tell you whether more stupid people live in California or Texas.

    Ouch!!! (Not because of what you said, but because I can’t think of a good comeback…)

    Thanks for the reminder to all of us who are throwing money at a state government who apparently doesn’t know how to manage it. While you’re at it, why don’t you give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it.

    At least the average IQ for California will get a boost when (if) you move here Dr. Bolen. =)

    “At least the average IQ for California will get a boost when (if) you move here Dr. Bolen.” reminds me of the Aggie/Longhorn story – When the Aggie tranferred to UT, the average IQ of both schools went up . . .
