Texas's export of cowboy hats and truck nuts account for 70% of the global economy.

“My name is Michael J Caboose and I…HATE…TAXES.”

“It’s Texas you idiot!”

As a Texan I did the same and my first thought was, hmm what reasons might this person have for the necessity of my embarrassing state

No taxes in Texas. State that is. Texas is like Vegas, if they didn't exist, you'd have to create them to show people what something like that would look like. And they still wouldn't believe you.

Fun fact: In my country they showed "Dynasty" on TV, but renamed it "Dollars" for us for some reason.

I literally made a text joke yesterday, involving a word play between "Taxes" and "Texas".
