We cats think it's hilarious that Governor Rick "Oops" Perry is campaigning hard to get businesses to move to Texas.
Texas has "the best business climate in the world," he avers. And of course if you want to take a gun to work, that's a-okay in the Lone Star State. But not in, say, New York (which is governed by a sane person).
So why is this hilarious? Because Governor Oops just vetoed an equal pay bill that, had he signed it, would have allowed Texas women to sue over wage discrimination.
We ask you, why? Why would American corporations needing to attract young talent agree to move their operations to such backward Republican states?
We'd like to be flies on the wall when GOP Governors like Scott Walker, Pat McCrory and Phil Bryant — just to name a few — pitch businesses to move to Wisconsin, North Carolina and Mississippi. Under Republican control, all three states are lurching back into the 19th century with anti-minority, anti-worker, anti-female, anti-family legislation.
If we cats were captains of industry, we'd take a meeting with Walker-McCrory-Bryant-et-al just so we could tell them to take a hike. Which would make us PURR.
