The Trouble With Texas
26th October 2013
Steve Sailer is troubled.
Is Texas about the best fate that a heavily Hispanicized America can hope for? In a future United States that won’t be able to generate all that much per-capita wealth, is Texas‘s system of cheap labor, cheap land, cheap taxes, and cheap government the only plausible future for the economy?
Well, if you’re lucky….
Cowen’s third point—most poorly educated Americans these days don’t have high enough IQs to benefit much from more education—is of course, Steve Sailer 101.
Of course, the Crust won’t allow anybody to so diss their Underclass.
Democrats have long tried to attract massive immigration from south of the border so that they can put them on “a path to citizenship” to turn America into a one-party state, Vermont writ large. Yet a central irony for the future of American politics is that these upcoming Democratic voters will be unlikely to generate enough wealth to pay for the expensive Vermont-style policies that liberals crave. Sadly, Vermont policies without an ultra-white Vermont-style population to pay for them tend to lead to Detroit.
And, needless to say, Detroit ain’t Texas.
In the long run, both politically and economically, Texas is in deep trouble.
Hey, in the long run we’re all dead — but Texas will be the last one standing.
