Lewis Black responds to Rick Perry's attempts to steal businesses from
other states, especially New York.

"**** you, Texas!"


I doubt a business owner who is being bled dry with the taxes, closed
shop laws and burdened with unnecessary regulations really does not
care what Lewis Black or a bunch of foul mouthed New Yorkers have to
say.

Detroit was saying the same thing 25 years ago and look at them now.

Detroit's problems stem from an auto industry that at the time put
profit before quality.

The auto industry killed itself by bowing to UAW demands You can't
have mediocre employees building ****ty cars for $75 an hour and
survive. When they moved to right to work states where they could fire
non-performing employees and pay a market wage, they recovered.

Detroit failed because all the actual working people left and their
tax base evaporated. They were left with hugh pension obligations from
the public service unions and that money left immediately too, because
all of those retired cops and firemen live here in the south

That is the point Texas is making



The point Texas is making is that it is easy pickings for employers who
want to exploit the work force and the environment and families. "Come
on down to the state of the stupid, where you can run your business
pretty much anyway you want. No real rules here."

How do you propose fixing Detroit's issues for the long term? They
could blow through a trillion or two in no time at all. The auto
industry is not coming back any time soon and that is what built
Detroit in the first place. I know people in upstate NY who are
still waiting for the paper and carpet making industies to come back,
and they started leaving over 60 years ago.

You must not remember the cars of the later part of the '70's and the
80's. That's when the U.S. built junk, and the Japanese pounced.

No jackass, we blew it on the sell ou....er, bail out... We gave it to
the Unions so they could party like it was 2099.... and they did. Now
it's gone, and it's time to pay the bill.

Texas is a societal, environmental and, unless you are rich, medical
health hole, a state where pride in lack of regulation hurts ordinary
people. It's the Wal-Mart of states, and it is on the attack on women.


If you care about women, Harry, why do you treat them so shabbily?
Remember how sensitive he is about women on his imaginary boats?
Insisting that he would "lock the potty", and make them "either wait, or
pee off the side"? Taliban style **** if you ask me.
Leave it to you, insane one, to take something WAY out of context.
You jumped in too soon, Kevin, the douchebag responded without any denial.

The unions made them uncompetitive.
