“The Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Report reveals two of the state’s well-known sanctuary cities with “don’t-ask-don’t-tell” policies, Houston and Austin, have surging violent crime rates.”
You always get more of what you subsidize...Milton Friedman.
Semantic fencing.
Rebate or ‘prebate’ is the term that is assigned to that portion of the FairTax plan to make the program palatable to liberals and therefore passable.
This is one area that I am not entirely pleased with, but it is a small trade off compared to the horrid system that we currently have.
Do you prefer the current system? If so, is it because you benefit from the Income Tax or do you just like the idea of turning your financial info over to the government?
How dare you ruin peoples' kneejerking with facts?
Whats happened to the crime rate in Crawford?
I'm sure those 9,768 additional crime victims will be relieved to hear this.
False and ridiculous. Liberal love entitlements. "Prebate" is the dishonest label is used by the NRST spammers to hide the nature of their huge new entitlement program from conservatives.
BTW, which of them is now trying to use a false "rebate" label as well?
Houston we have a PROBLEM -- it is ILLEGALS!! Austin, that place is a bunch of LEFTIST running that city!!
It may be insignificant to someone in New York, however Texans kinda tend to be irritated.
You are repeating yourself and ignoring the point. This FT plan is better than the current system (if you can call it a system). It is not perfect and no one claims that it is.
Is your only problem with the FT the rebate or do you have other objections?
Do you have any objections to the massive entitlements built into and paid for by the current system?
What do you think would be better than the FIT and the FT?
You can fence or you can carry on a discussion. I’ve done my part and now it’s up to you.
The latest FBI crime stats indicate that New York has the fourth lowest crime rate of any state in the country and the lowest crime rate by far of any of the big states.
You post a falsehood, I corrected you.
You posted the falsehood again, I corrected you again.
Wanna go for three?
I've heard a lot of good things about Texas... however, this wasn't one of them.
The combination of heat and humidity was another negative.
So... I'm probably moving elsewhere. Sorry, Texas.
Since you are not interested in a discussion — or even suggesting that I may have been mistaken and not spreading falsehoods — No, I don’t want to ‘go for three’. I doubt that you are even capable of a rational and polite discussion.
Good. Then stop posting the “rebate” falsehood.
I don’t see the Fair Tax mentioned in the article. Let’s get the thread back on the original topic, eh? We have enough Fair Tax flame-a-thons as it is without hijacking an unrelated thread to create another one.
“...I do have to wonder if Houston has seen an increase from Katrina “refugee’s” who decided to stay...”
I have a niece there. The crime rate spited after the Katrina ‘refugees’ from NOLA settled in Houston. There are several ‘no go’ zones.
Prove that it is a falsehood, a lie, or even a mistake and I will not only quit posting it, I will apologize.
