If people are leaving California for Texas, then by definition Texas is the better place to live, unless you think people are stupid. Texas isn't a miracle, of course not. It's just run competently.No, it just means Texas has more jobs -- albeit very low paying jobs.It is not run competently except for the very wealthy.Texas's median income taking into account age, demographics and cost of living is a better place to live than California.The government doesn't favor anyone. It's a roughly level playing field.However California places Big Government and its Special Interests over taxpayers and ordinary citizens.Just like Obama and national Dems do.California is a state that has been savaged by overuse of it's law allowing voter initiatives which - unsurprisingly - have overwhelmingly favored irresponsibility. The very wealthy have been the chief beneficiaries of these and also laws on the books that make it virtually impossible to raise taxes on the wealthy. Given that this is the case, Texas is only slightly behind California's fate.
