WHY CALIFORNIA IS BROKE AND TEXAS PROSPEROUS





THE COYOTE

 


CALIFORNIA:

The  Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature
trail.

A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the
Governor.

    1.  The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie
"Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only
doing what is natural.

    2.  He calls  animal control .  Animal Control captures the coyote
and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for
relocating it.

    3.  He calls a veterinarian.  The vet collects the  dead dog and
bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.

    4.  The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked
for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

    5.  The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game
conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of
dangerous animals.

    6.  The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a
"coyote awareness program" for residents of the area.

    7.  The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better
treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout
the world.

    8.  The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the
attack.  The State spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with
additional special training re:  the nature of coyotes.

    9. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million
suit against the State.


  TEXAS :

    The Governor of  Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature
trail.  A Coyote jumps out, attacks and kills his dog.

    1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued pistol and
keeps  jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP  hollow point
cartridge.

    2. The Buzzards eat the dead animals.

 

 And that, my friends, is why
California is broke and Texas is not.
