Any business that moves to Texas, just so they can avoid paying for healthcare, and avoid paying taxes, is a business I do not want to do business with.

This is not failure of other states. This is failure of people failing to realize these corporations don't give a fuck about you. That is the mindset you should have, because in the rest of the word, people have healthcare, and they pay their taxes, but business still makes profits, and it isn't the end of their world.
