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


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.
