Texans have been described as very individualistic, competitive, and hardworking, even more so than their American counterparts. This has resulted in great economic productivity, and a libertarian form of government. This has also made Texas a popular destination for immigrants. Texans are also firm believers in equality, and do not think that one social class should have more rights than others.
