        Then you didn't read the report. What he cited was misleading if not outright lying.

        I read the report. Overall gains for the year and the month of June, Texas had the highest gains. How is Gov. Abbott's statement a lie?

        Now having worked in both California and Texas in public accounting, I can say that Texas is doing a great job in promoting business.

        As a small business owner, paying annual inventory property tax sucks. Competing with online sellers that don't charge sales tax sucks also.

        Having worked in tax for a large e-commerce biz, I know they face many of the same issues. Understanding state sales tax nexus is critical.

        When my typical markup on firearms is 10%, and have to add 8.25% sales tax, not impossible but hard to compete w/online out of TX sellers.

        However lots of teachers will lose theirs because schools will have to cut jobs to survive because of recapture

        That is so sad to invest your time and money to get a teaching degree then have to leave the profession.

        Nice spin. But Texans know this report was dismal for us. You focus on abortion and bathroom bills, while our economy falters. Failure!
