Truth in Tension

I would add city, county, school districts, and state employees to the larval stage as well. They are all tax parasites sucking the life from the tax payer. Here in Texas the Longview school districts is celebrating this week because the low IQ votes approved a 450 million bond expenditure to build a new aquatic center and refurbish high school stadiums. Keep in mind, that Longview school district already has an amazing aquatic center and high school stadiums with astro turf. Also, the bond issue never mention how the expenditure were improve education or stop the relentless decline in collage entrance exams. Of course, the same morons that approved the 450 million bond expenditure are the same morons that are crying about the huge increase in property taxes driven by significant increase in school taxes. Assuming the bond elections were without fraud – and that is a big assumption – then the election confirms that you cannot over estimate the stupidity of the Longview voters. Longview is proudly turning blue. Here in Texas property taxes are legal extortion. Property taxes have for decades increased at a rate that far exceeds the rate of inflation. Who is $ John Galt?

Gilmer at least got a new school and for only $35,000,000 millYun dollars.
Population of Upshur County? Under 45,000 . How many of those are wage earning,tax paying people? It’s not too bad,, I guess. But the property values have been climbing beyond reason. Taxes go up, and the money goes to the appraisal district. Our roads are a mess.
