Nanny State Expanded!

I ran across this article while scanning headlines and I was so disgusted I just had to post it. Apparently there are some legislators that think they need to be able to dictate every minor detail of our life including whether or not it's legal to jog with ear buds in your ear or walk while you text. It seems there is no end in sight to what politicians believe they can do better than you can.

The Power of Texas

Ever wonder how a government should act if it wants a thriving private-sector with low unemployment and a better than average budget situation over the long-term? Apparently a lot like the State of Texas. Check out this article if you want to know more. While I don't believe that TX is perfect by any means it does seem to be doing better than most. Why?

In a nutshell:

• Low taxes
• Lower average regulatory burdens
• State that works hard to maintain a balanced budget
• Government that generally leaves the private sector to do what it does best - create jobs and grow!
