Carpetbaggers have a long history. The first Carpetbaggers came to the South from Yankee states after the Civil War to make a quick
buck. Later Carpetbaggers moved to the South in the 1970s when the big 3 automakers in Detroit started to fail. Modern-day Carpetbaggers primarily move to 5 cities in Texas (El Paso, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and
Dallas) to escape the wretched economic prospects of their home states (usually
California and Yankee states). They will take jobs from Texans and are generally ungrateful bastards, frequently calling Texans rednecks and complaining about how it sucks here as compared to their squathole in Mexifornia or New
England. If Texas sucks so much, then why are you here?
The most famous modern-
day Carpetbagger is Joseph Stack, the guy who rammed his
plane into the
IRS building in Austin.
Get out of Texas, carpetbagger!
