Texas on the Brink - 2011 report on TX state rankings in everything. ( It's bad.)

Browse the many catagories under the On the Brink tab. Perry's actually going to run on this???

A sample - Texas ranks:
44th in Home Ownership
46th in Homeowner’s Insurance Affordability
4th in Percent Living Below Federal Poverty Level
2nd in Percent of Population with Food Insecurity
50th in Workers’ Compensation Coverage

A 2009 study found that Texas requires families in the bottom 20 percent of the income scale to pay more than three-and-a-half times as great a share of their earnings in taxes as the top one percent.

No Medicaid is provided to a family of four, even at the poverty level of $4,943.70/ year.
