California v. Texas: America's Future

AMERICA’S recent history has been a relentless tilt to the West—of people, ideas, commerce and even political power. California and Texas, the nation’s two biggest states, are the twin poles of the West, but very different ones. For most of the 20th century the home of Silicon Valley and Hollywood has been the brainier, sexier, trendier of the two: its suburbs and freeways, its fads and foibles, its marvellous miscegenation have spread around the world. Texas, once a part of the Confederacy, has trailed behind: its cliché has been a conservative Christian in cowboy boots, much like a certain recent president. But twins can change places. Is that happening now?

Red state v. Blue state. Emerging technologies vs. Keepin it simple.

Who will win out? Is the future of America under Obama more like California?

This quote from the article is the key, to me:


"Texas also clearly offers a different model, based on small government. It has no state capital-gains or income tax, and a business-friendly and immigrant-tolerant attitude."

There's a reason Texas is thriving and California is struggling.

Considering how things are going there I'd say it was fully legalized a few years ago.

...if you only knew where I am working

But to fully legalize it, that would generate at least 10% of the annual budget for the entire state...and that is a good thing!!!
