“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Hey may have been referencing Texas, which does have the Second highest GSP in the United States behind California. In which case, he is right, as Texas as much more robust economy than most other states.

Well he was responding to the line "Southern politicians", not just Texan ones.

It's not much of an argument though. I mean, sure, Texas has the second highest GSP, but also the second highest population. By that argument, California has the highest GSP and therefore the best economy and all the southern states need to start listening to those socialist hippies. So the better measure is to look at GDP per capita... which means everyone needs to listen to... Delaware? What the hell?
Anyhow, even with GDP per capita is isn't much of an argument to pick out one good state and claim the whole region needs to be listened to. To take Texas as an example, in plenty of places they have effective economic practices - they work to encourage business, the planning laws are pretty straight forward and not that time consuming, but then they've also got all that oil. Picking out good policies from good fortune and good circumstances is near impossible.
That's why I asked fraz (or anyone else for that matter) to look at that list of states by GDP per capita and pick out any kind of pattern. There simply isn't a concentration of states at the top with certain kinds of economic policies, and states at the bottom with other kinds of economic policies. It's a real mix.
All of which means that the argument 'my state has a good economy therefore you need to listen to this whole region on economic policy' is just a really, really bad argument.

There is only Texas and Norte Texas*

(Norte Texas also includes Canada, Central America, and Tahiti, they just don't know it yet)
