While this is not the topic at hand, since you did mention this subject, I will take one moment to make sure you have this info for use down the road (hopefully on a thread that deals with higher education issues and reform).
Any student receiving the Texas in-state tuition rate will pay a Texas college or university somewhere in the range of $1,180.00 per student-per year to $30,880.00 per student-per year.
That means that any student going to college in Texas at the in-state rate would pay the tuition rate in that range, depending on what college or university they were attending.
Also, Texas grants out-of-state students from anywhere in the United States the same in-state tuition rate if they live in Texas for the same period of time, three years, regardless of what U.S. State their parents claim as their residence. Children of military members on active duty in Texas are also granted the in-state rate as a courtesy to our American service members.

Other than that info, please remember, even when someone else does not, that we are on the verge of exciting financial and economic reform that will make America that shining star upon the hill!
Stay focused and stand firm with us conservatives who are not fighting against ourselves but fighting to get Obama out of the White House and to get America back on track!
To Wild Irish Rogue and McLynnan,
I had sent you a post a little earlier this evening. Just wanted to follow up on something with you now.
Now that some of those guys have moved on, I wanted to let you know I appreciated your comments on this thread. I hope you know I was not simply trying to stop your contributions for I think you would have a lot to contribute on many threads! I was just trying to see if I could keep the outside interference by that group at a minimum and to stay as focused as possible on the flat tax topic by speaking to you two who were not a part of that busy little group and who seemed to more have your heads on your shoulders. I’m kind of thinking some of those other folk may liked to have had something else shadow over and consume the really good news coming out on the conservative reform front here.
I hope the info I provided in that other post was helpful. I find it eye opening when you think that a student even paying just in-state tuition is paying a whole lot from their own family’s pocketbook! It sure isn’t cheap going to college, nor is it easy to get into many colleges even, and when I see things like that list of in-state tuition rates, it really makes me appreciate those who go to college.
Anyway, please know that I was not concerned about your contributions. I was simply hoping we might slow down any possible “illegal posters” we may have had trying to cross the conservative border! LOL
Thanks again, and don’t forget to check out what Governor Perry has to say this Tuesday about this phase of The Perry Plan and his flat tax reform proposal!
It sure is an exciting time in our country’s history to have such bold talk coming from all our conservative candidates!
