Texas Isn’t the HQ of Capitalism Yet — But It Could Be

Here’s how.

Hello Friends!

Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently posted on X that “Texas is now the unrivaled HQ for capitalism in the U.S.”

He’s right that capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any government program ever could. But claiming that Texas is its headquarters misses an uncomfortable truth: our state is drifting away from the principles that made it great.

I responded:

“Texas can’t claim to be the HQ of capitalism while excessive spending and crony corporatism still run the show.”
