You don't think there's ANY reason folks might not care for TX except jealousy?

I have lived in California. You couldn't pay me enough to move back there.

California is largely a cesspool now. Terrible schools, extremely high taxes,

Utah will rank low in any system that includes per pupil spending as a component

I wasn't thinking of utah.

The point remains the same you can focus on negatives of any state

wow, why were your siblings living in the ghetto

That is also near bankruptcy

Singcat

Idaho has great scenery...stand on the northern border and you can see into MT,

you weren't allowed to vote for your own state.

Yes, conspicuously absent was a breakdown of the states represented by the poll
