a 66% income tax just hit our paychecks last week

So if you make a thousand dollars, you only get 333.00? I don’t think so. I think you need to explain what this means.

Echoing the misleading newspaper headline (How they LOVE to inflame things!). Any time people quote percentages instead of actual numbers - beware.

Under the legislation, the personal income tax rate would "temporarily" rise to 5% from 3%. The rate for corporate taxes would rise to 7% from 4.8%.

Texas is still accepting applications for residency from blue state refugees. Hurry up though. The quota will drop significantly very soon.

I didn't say for whom.

It went from 3% of your income to 5% of your income.
