I was speaking with a coworker about state income tax. I paid plenty of it in CA.TX income tax referendum was 75% Nea, 25% Yea, last time it came up a couple years ago. At the time I thought "Who in the Hell would vote for more taxation?". Apparently, they are out there. One of the reasons we moved here was the absence of a state income tax. Our tax liability is much lower here. People don't know what they don't know. There are plenty of states out there that employ income AND property taxes (and any other tax they can think of).

His comment was " yeah But it was only like... $900 a year right?"
Yeah right, more like $10-15k a year.
And don't get me started with the state sending you a 1099 for your previous years return. A refund is not income.

West.Looks to me like we need someone other than a 2 side of the mouth talking politician. Someone else is looking awful good.
Regarding Abbott...

It's not for lack of trying. They have more than once put up an initiative to bring in a state income tax. Why would anyone vote for it, someone asked?Washington still does not have a general income tax for individuals, but they have IIRC an 11% sales tax that doesn't apply to groceries and hygiene products.
I prefer shifting from the property tax to a sales tax for a variety of reasons. First, it spreads the tax burden out. Illegal aliens, tourists, people who live rent-free....they'll pay that tax. Property owners and renters who shop around can significantly reduce their tax burden with no property tax....putting more money in their pockets that they don't necessarily have to spend on sales tax. And sales tax is a more voluntary tax that encourages people to evaluate their purchases and shop for better deals....lower price on a good = lower sales tax on that good.
Right now, West is my preference....with Huffhines a close second. If neither of them end up on the general election ballot, I'm not wasting my vote....

Let me give you an example of how they do this: They wrote the law to say that there would be a measurable reduction in your property taxes, if passed. I was walking by a store one day and a guy at a table is yelling "sign this petition (signatures needed for initiatives to get on ballot). and get your property taxes reduced!" Sounds good. I walk up and read the text. It's the income tax bill. I said quite loudly: "This is an initiative to create an income tax. Tell people the TRUTH!" They got paid by the signature. Who could blame the guy?
Note: there was nothing to say that they couldn't bump your property taxes right back up after this crap was made law. Classic political bait and switch.
Back in the late 60's when I was in high school we had a grass field with goal posts at each end and wooden bleachers and that was all we needed.If my neighbors vote for a $50 million bond measure to build a high school football stadium, I’m gonna lose my shit…
Thankfully I live in the poor part of town

Anyone living in a house - be they paying rent, or owning - is paying property tax. No land lord is going to *not* include the taxes in the calculation for the rent. The only way renters don't pay, is if they don't pay rent. Then you kick them the hell out. Of course Brandon wants his eviction-ban cuz of The Coof, but SCOTUS struck that shit down.
The only way to waste yourvotetastebuds is to notvoteeat the turd sandwich.
