Although this is probably posted as a slam against Repubs. I think Dems are on the flip side and make employing here in the US uncompetative. Or in some cases why work, welfare pays better. At least for some.
Now, some points not brought up in the article. One is that a lot of the job growth in TX is medical related jobs. Some good paying, but other probably mid to low hourly jobs. They don't add anything to productivity. They are a cost. The fastest growing industry in the US is healthcare. The fastest growing cost for buisnesses is , wait for, wait for it, Health care. It has been since the early 90's.
I am not sure about Obama care. To much paper, and not real facts. His first piece of legislation, and he went against all the principals he ran for. No transparency there.
