One a free trade, right to work, anti-union state the other a pro-union "closed shop" state. One with predominantly conservative politicians, the other with predominantly liberal socialist politicians. *Hint one is miserable and blames its problems on everyone but themselves.* Economic Differences Between Texas And Ohio Illustrate The Problems With Liberal Leadership Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are spending a lot of time on the campaign trail in the lead up votes in Texas and Ohio railing against free trade agreements and promising massive new tax packages for “big business.” What’s interesting, however, is that Texas and Ohio illustrate perfectly why protectionism and big government are bad for business. In Ohio, big taxes and intrusive government are driving jobs out of the state. In Texas, a business-friendly atmosphere and low taxes are bringing businesses, and jobs, into the state. For all the carping Democrats do about the plight of the American worker it’s ironic that the very policies they promote are what lead to that plight.
