    Red state v. Blue state. Emerging technologies vs. Keepin it simple.

    Who will win out? Is the future of America under Obama more like California?

    This quote from the article is the key, to me:


    "Texas also clearly offers a different model, based on small government. It has no state capital-gains or income tax, and a business-friendly and immigrant-tolerant attitude."

    There's a reason Texas is thriving and California is struggling.

    ...if you only knew where I am working :pimp:

    But to fully legalize it, that would generate at least 10% of the annual budget for the entire state...and that is a good thing!!! :ghoti:
