I spent some time in Dallas, and anyone who thinks "only low wage workers" live there is a fool or a liar. Which are you?And as usual, you're ignoring the fact that California's nominal unemployment rate is 12.4%, it's real unemployment rate likely 15-16%, standards of living are plummeting, citizens are fleeing and the state is going bankrupt.Some success.Median hourly wageLow Wages in Texas.How to lie with statistics, Krugman's favorite trick.Looking at hourly wages not actual income grossly understates certain incomes and slants the field in liberals' direction.Beyond that, the most accurate picture looks at after-tax income and standard of living. Texans live far better at a lower income, which is why people are moving there and out of California.You also ignored all my points, as usual.
