Texas state income tax coming

[Pro]

They claim that they can lower property taxes when they introduce it.

Yea right. Extra spending for the government.

Join the crowd!!! Ours was just raised last year from 2.8% to 3.2% (I think). That's in addition to our federal taxes, SS, etc... PLus we also pay a "Right To Work" tax!!!

That sucks. We have no state income tax here in Nevada. It is actually in our state constitution and the only way to create a state income tax is if it is voted for by the people in an election, and that ain't going to happen. Of course, we get reamed on every other tax (especially on DMV taxes) so it more then makes up for having no state income tax. Just means less paperwork.

Tell em Shaners, vote for the liberal: get taxed a lot, vote for the conservative: get taxed a little less. Either way we're screwed out of our money here in PA. Beat's New Jersey though.
