I was committed to just lurking but I should add her that maybe farmers should not have their tax exemptions either. Here in this large west Texas county, the small number of people in town are paying all the taxes to support 1,565 miles of roads and schools that rural residents also use. Having sent over $5.00 to Austin this past year for every $1.00 I sent the Feds, I've given up on the uneven way Texas deals with its property taxation. My families have been in Texas since the 1830s but check Keller-Williams realty for a super deal on some good west Texas commercial property.
BTW, I am not for heavily taxing agricultural Texas any more than I am for taxing churches but Texas has a big problem.
Okay, back to lurking.
