Red State Recruitment
Texas Governor Rick Perry is
in New York City today meeting with business owners. He's doing
this to try and lure more businesses to his state. He has a very compelling case to be made, as
do many red states throughout our nation. Texas is an example of a red state
with a warm climate, no income tax and a
friendly regulatory business environment.
It's also rich in energy resources.
As a result, almost half of the new jobs created during our economic “recovery”
were created in Texas alone. Texas isn't the only success story for
conservative principles being implemented in states and causing economic
growth. Florida Governor Rick Scott has
brought Florida's unemployment rate down significantly, with over 700,000 jobs
created in his state. Wisconsin Governor
Scott Walker managed to turn things around in his state and now has a $1
billion budget surplus. Louisiana
Governor Bobby Jindal, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley are conservatives
seeing similar success in their states. A
business owner in New York City would be hard-pressed to find a reason not to
move to a place like Texas when faced with the economic opportunities
available. Conservative principles work
and the success of these red states and these Republican governors is a
testament to that.
Government Bonuses
The IRS has got to be one of
the most backwards government agencies in Washington D.C. Obviously
we have the
outrage surrounding its targeting of tea party conservative groups.
We're still waiting for the truth on that
one. But now we have a report which shows that IRS employees who engaged
in
job-related misconduct, misused government credit cards and even failed
to pay
their own taxes received bonuses! Almost $3 million in bonuses and more
than
27,000 hours in time-off awards were doled out to IRS employees who
clearly
didn't deserve rewards. How is it possible that over 1,000 IRS employees
could
fail to properly file their taxes to the very agency for which they
work? And then they are rewarded with bonuses? This is absurd. Forget
accountability; these people are
rewarded! That would never fly in the
private sector. You can read more about the report on Jamie Dupree's blog.
