I can't control my valuation.

Sure you do. You can always buy a bigger or smaller house. As a supply sider, I want the tax code to have the smallest impact on my economic decision making. If the tax code causes me to change my decision making, it creates a "deadweight loss". That's what Gov. Perry is creating here, a "deadweight loss".

It's a bit harder to move than it is to change jobs not to mention expensive, just don't see it as nearly the same as electing to work/not work overtime or selling/not selling stock.

However I suspect we can both agree that either one of us could very easily find the money to make the property tax cut and fund education without any other changes to taxes. Seeing as how these fellas don't seem to be able to cut squat it looks like they've decided they'll do the two step here and the turkey trot over there and not do anything serious.

You suggest that a homeowner should have to move to smaller digs just so he can afford the taxes??

In such a case, the tax code does not "cause me to change my decision making," it lowers my standard of living and disrupts my life and that of my family.

Your philosophy paints supply siders with a mean brush.
