The petitions for secession from the U.S. filed by Texas, Louisiana, and five other states have collected more than 25,000 signatures each, which the White House website says is enough for review and response.

Wow, over 100k Texans out of 25 million want to succeed. Oh wait, anyone can sign, not just Texans. So 100k people out of 7 billion people on earth have signed. Msn had a really, really slow news day it looks like.
Check out some of the other petitions, funny stuff. I like the motorcycle riding judges petition.
I remember times when
Connecticuthad #1 spot in US economy and was the most desirable state in US. High salary, good benefits, plenty of jobs in manufacturing sector, low cost of housing. Suddenly everything changed when manufacturing sector moved out.
Silicon Valley
Used to be, we exported real stuff to the rest of the USA and the ROW. Now, all we export is IP, and Cool-Aid.
I thought this too, but Texas is one of the few red states that actually pays more in federal taxes than it receives in federal funding.
did you factor in how many moved to Texas and rest of the south over the past 10-20 years.
Only 33% in CA are natives.. the rest moved out to the south... you have a greater than 50% chance that you will also move south for either a job or retirement.
So get used to good old fashion smoked BBQ and lots of Beer...

Only you would be silly enough to compare the Declaration of Independence signed by all the major leaders of the time to the white house website petition page.

Why California is broke, and Texas is not
Prop 13, 1978
How many places in CA have 1% straight tax today? Maybe bare land.
Prop 13, 1978
This is actually a good point. Texas actually has a pretty aggressive property tax regime. Plus they didn't allow their economy to go flim-flam in the 2000s, by limiting people to 80% LTV ratios on refis etc (they learned from the S&L/oil patch crisis of the 1980s).

? It's not the rate it's the assessor valuation, which is limited to 2% per-year increase.
Thanks to Prop 13, the apartment I lived in in 1990 is now paying pretty much the same property tax it was then, even though rents have more than doubled (nearly tripled).
Land $1,302,912
Improvements $2,434,406
80 units so the assessor is valuing each unit at $46,000. Actual market value is around $300,000.
The assessed property tax per unit is $30/mo. Rents are $1700-2700.
