Keep in mind (if Ms. Medina could even get the laws changed) that the way she intends to collect that revenue is to raise sales tax to at least 8.8 (bet it would be higher). A modest $100,000.00 house will cost the buyer an additional $9,000.00 (cash) at purchase. Then you will lose the deduction of your property taxes from your Federal income. She says she would tax a lot of items and businesses that are not currently taxed in Texas in order to raise the deficit amounts.Mando'a wrote:WOW!! Absolutely loved what she said about getting rid of property taxes. I think she just earned my vote.
I (personally) like the Texas CHL licensing system and am comfortable with it. There are some that just do not need to be carrying a weapon. I really do not like the open carry idea - no matter who is proposing it.
It is like choosing lesser evils anymore - but at least Perry hasn't been caught jetting off to Argentina to hook up with a squeeze...
