Tory Gattis offered interesting commentary on a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed titled, “Soak the Rich, Lose the Rich.”
The opinion piece’s main assertion is that high taxes states have suffered from a mass relocation to no-income tax states such as our own Texas. Gattis adds, “Texas created more new jobs in 2008 than all other 49 states combined.”
I enjoy civilized protest … even when I may disagree with those that are dissenting. The last 8 years I was part of that minority and it seems that conservatives but more importantly Republicans have joined the ranks.
Now, don’t get me wrong … a protesting is healthy for a democracy. It is like this check and balance that reminds us what is important to us. It also adds much needed dialogue in political discourse on important political or social issues that may be causing a national dilemma.
