Medina proposed eliminating property tax and funding the state with sales taxes. Sounds great to me but how would that be possible? Texas has no state income tax.
Easy, after eliminating the property tax you increase and broaden the state sales tax. With no property tax and a higher sales tax there’s no need for an income tax. In a very broad sense... it’s about like replacing the income tax/IRS at the federal level with a consumption tax or implementing the Fair Tax.
Plus... a Medina administration would almost certainly push for lower state spending than Perry or KBH anyway.
On the debate front, hopefully she’ll get a bunch of the undecideds and leaners to move her way after the debate tonight... and she’ll be up in the high teens by the end of the month in post-debate polls.
Jeez, how high would they have to go ?
We might not have a state income tax but property & sales taxes are already high.
