Think about apartments and home rentals being lowered after owners no longer owe property tax. Think about Texans having all that extra money to spend or invest? Even if the sales tax goes up to the maximum estimate of 15%, food and utilities and probably other items will be exempt so even the poorest get a fair shake and like you say, share in paying for their children’s education.
Spreading the burden across all consumers is the most sensible way finance the state’s needs and I like to think Texas will pioneer this and show the way for others to follow.
Thank you for helping spread the word for Medina. I have tried in vain to post some articles. Would you have the time to post them for me if I send you the URL? Here is one I found tonight about the property tax study that Medina has relied on.
