WHat an ignorant new englander you are. Texas has more Fortune 500 companies than any other state. Its is larger than all of new england or the country of France. The 7 largest economy in the world. Less unemployment, incredible schools and colleges. Unlike MA where my state taxes go to fund some projects in the crap areas of MA, in TX my TOWN taxes go to fund my kids schools.
More and more people and companies are leaving new england, educated people with money. That means less and less taxes will be paid by the wealthy and those who stay will pick up the burden. RI - highest unemployment, highest suicide rate. Maybe Easton will be a boom town, selling crack or turning tricks for the new casinoin Foxboro may be a great opportunity for your kids to earn some high school $$$.
Tomorrow may rain so I'll follow the sun.
