Thanks for the ping. I LOVE those Round Rock donuts.
Why don’t we call Joe and ask him to send somebody?
The time to strike is now - the iron is hot.
We do have outrageous property taxes..... but you have the right to protest them annually to a firm that is a private company..... not a Texas.gov entity.
Not many people know that our taxing authority is a private business.
We are voting as we speak on fixing our property tax problems.
How ‘bout WE take California?
Re-make it in our TX mold?
Investment opportunities abound.
Dispatch Liberals = prosperity.
Same thing everywhere (and here in the NW). Bankrupt Liberal states are seeing a mass-departure of their mostly ignorant population, who are moving to nearby states and corrputing them.
It is a disease.
Another opportunity for Texas.
Where libs have killed off their states, go in and take over their politics, turn it red and make money.
They bus in corrupt primary cross-voters, we U-haul prosperity at bargain-basement prices into their decrepits.
higher tax states like California subsidize lower tax states like Texas, unless you compensate for that it’s not an accurate comparison (CA could lower taxes if it got a dollar back for every dollar it sent to the feds instead of 78 cents)
Well, a good part of your property tax savings in South Carolina is offset by that 7% income tax you pay on every dollar earned over $13,151!

My thoughts exactly. Cali’s, stay home. You crapped in your own house, so clean it up yourselves. Keep your stenching, creeping, toxic programs out there.
I guess you are now the self-appointed arbiters of who can and cannot move to another state?
If this is the kind of welcome a person moving into your state is to receive, screw it. I don’t need your approval or consent to do anything.
I’ll find another community that will welcome a rational conservative based on just that. Not because they moved from a state you personally dislike.
I’ll let you in on a little secret. Not all Californians are native born. Most are from states just like yours and are now moving HOME. Where did their values come from? HOME. So there-in lies the rub, they were taught those values that they used to destroy the once Golden State and now you all tremble in fear because the locusts are coming HOME.
Deal with it.
From an old 1950’s Texas Post Card:
The Devil in Hell we’re told was chained
And a thousand years he there remained,
He neither complained nor did he groan
But determined to start a Hell of his own.
Where he could torment the souls of men
Without being chained in an underground pen,
So he asked the Lord if he had on hand
Anything left when he made this land.
The Lord said, “Yes, I have plenty of land,
But I left it down on the Rio Grand.”
The fact is, old boy, the stuff is real poor.
But you’re welcome to it and plenty more.
So the Devil went down to look at the truck
And said if he took it as a gift he was stuck.
For after examining it carefully and well
He determined the place was too dry for a hell.
So, in order to get it off of His hand,
The Lord promised to water the land.
For He had some water or rather some dregs
Rather cathartic and smelled like bad eggs.
Hence the trade was closed and the deed, was given
And the Lord went back to his home in Heaven.
The Devil said to himself, I’ll have all that is needed
To make a good hell,” and hence he succeeded.
He began to put thorns all over the trees
And mix up the sand with millions of fleas.
He scattered the tarantulas along the roads
Put thorns on cactus and horns on toads.
He lengthened the horns of the Texas steers
And put an addition to the rabbit’s ears.
He put a little devil in the bronco steed
And poisoned the feet of the centipede.
The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion stings,
The mosquito delights you with his buzzing wings.
Sand-burs bite you and cause you to dance
And those who sit down will have ants in their pants.
The Devil then said that throughout the land
He’d arrange to keep up the Devil’s own brand.
And all should be Mavericks unless they bore
Mars or scratches, or bites by the score.
The heat in the summer is one hundred and ten
Too hot for the Devil, too hot for the men
Go see for yourself and you can tell
‘Tis a hell of a place he has for hell.
Hear hear.

You know Texas has had a liberal conservative split for decades. As as example think of the Senators Smiling Ralph Yarborough and John Towers. Yarborough was liberal and Towers conservative. Texas is a unique place.
