There is a long history of IOLTA in various states, and it has never been implemented as some sort of tax reductio scheme.:-)
With respect to the specter of a Texas State Income Tax, any device used by state agencies to raise funds is a tax reductio scheme.
In Texas, there are three absolutely certain ways to insure defeat at the polls: advocate gun control; advocate raising property taxes, and even so much as whisper the phrase "state income tax."

What about Jim Hightower?
He was-to the best of my recollection-in favor of all three things, and was still relatively popular when he ran for statewide office.

even so much as whisper the phrase "state income tax."This is why I'm shooting (politically) at every Republican incumbent I can in the upcoming primaries.
