What would happen if you give predatory businesses/owners free reign in a US state? What if the laws passed protect them completely from any liability while targeting the rights of you and your family? Ever wanted to live within the blast radius of a chemical plant? Come to Texas, but remember, BYOG!

Don't forget that Texas is home to over 200 megachurches, which includes the likes of Joel Osteen, and that's not by accident.

I should open a mega church. My day gig just isn't cutting it anymore and I Iike the idea of getting rich while working only Sundays.

Don't forget that you can operate tax-free, as long as you write it off as a church expense. Don't even have to join a particular denomination and follow their rules. Just start a non-denom, and you too can be God's special little guy who definitely knows all the secrets.
