Salon.com | The Texas chainsaw massacre

Salon.com | The Texas chainsaw massacre: "The paucity of tax revenue also means that Texas lags behind other states in virtually every health and human services category. It has maintained a permanent underclass for decades. In 1980, it ranked 39th in the percentage of citizens living in poverty. Last year, Texas tied for 47th in that category. Among the 50 states, Texas ranks dead last in the percentage of poor children with adequate health insurance and last in the percentage of citizens who have high school degrees. It's first in the number of people killed by handguns, first in the number of people executed, and first in the number of people in prison. "


The eyes of Texas are upon you.
I gotta get the hell out.
