Thank the Fiscal Conservative climate set by the States' Elected Republicans

From Eric Dondero:

Number one again. The Lone Star State has just been rated as "America's best state in which to do business." And my homestate scored that distinction far above all others.

The Republican Party of Texas reports:

The Lone Star State stands alone as America’s best state in which to do business. That’s how more than 600 CEOs across America rate Texas. Chief Executive Magazine polled a total of 651 corporate CEOs, who, for the fifth year in a row, gave Texas top honors for the state’s openness to business, our reasonable regulatory environment, the level of taxation, quality of our workforce and living environment.

Republican Party of Texas Chairman Cathie Adams commented on the findings:

“Texas’ unrivaled success over the past several years is no accident. Texans are can-do people who maximize our freedoms to pursue the American dream. And conservative governance, led by Gov. Rick Perry and our Republican statewide officeholders and legislature, is our secret to empowering Texans. Under Republican leadership, Texas keeps government out of the way by keeping our government small, our regulatory system predictable, our reformed tort system fair, and our tax burden on families and businesses among the lowest in the nation. This all translates into one thing Texans need:

Jobs.”

"Big Government kills Jobs, Period!"

Added Republican Party spokesman Bryan Preston:

“When you look at the Chief Executive list, after you see Texas on top again, it’s hard not to notice who’s at the bottom. The states where the entrenched Democrat left has grown government the most are also the states that are the least friendly to business. And they all happen to have the highest unemployment rates, too. It’s clear that in those states, Democrat leaders care more about a whole bunch of other issues than about fostering free enterprise. Big government kills jobs, period.”

The top states to do business:

Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Nevada, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Utah and South Carolina.

The big losers in the survey:

California, New York, Michigan, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Illinois.
