About
Good Policy Produces Prosperity.
Texas has the most vibrant economy in the country today. We at Americans For Prosperity realize that good public policies result in prosperity.
We Texans may from time to time take for granted the relative good economy we are enjoying here in the Lone Star State. Few citizens realize the progress Texas has made to be the best economy in the nation.
Lone Star Strong was launched to show how limited government policies result in economic expansion and prosperity.
Texas, the nation's second most populous state. Its population grew by almost half a million and accounted for 18 percent of the nation's total population growth. Texas had above-average immigrant growth, but domestic in-migration was nearly twice as high.
Texas over the decades has had low taxes (and no state income tax), low public spending and regulations that encourage job growth. It didn't have much of a housing bubble or a housing price bust.
Under Governors George W. Bush and Rick Perry, Texas has placed tight limits on tort lawsuits, and has seen an influx of both corporate headquarters and medical doctors.
Our goal is to educate policymakers and the public on how conservative fiscal policies result in economic expansion.
