The testimony “Texas public policy Foundation” is mainly about Texas Property Taxes that have been growing faster
than average. Most people in Texas don’t have any more money to pay for their
Property Taxes because those taxes are already too much to pay. Texas has the craziest
property system in the nation. Most property holders and businesses are being
kicked out of their homes or running out of money because they cannot afford
their property taxes. Sixty-seven
percent of voters in the 2018 Republican primary election agreed that property taxes
should be replaced with a sales tax. I think that is a great idea, because a
sales tax would not take as much money from people and school districts as
property tax.
Governor Rick Perry created The Texas
Tax Reform Commission that devised a plan to reduce property tax rates while Increasing
state funding of education. A good example of a property tax is one of my
friends who had a house. Each year she had to pay a property tax, and each year
the tax was increasing, and she could not do anything about it. She was just
going to wait to pay it until the tax collector insisted. Texas has a big issue,
a big problem with property taxes and they should do something about it. Numbers
of people have had great trouble paying for their property taxes. Many people
have lost a lot of money, and numbers of people became homeless. Texas should
do something about property taxes because people are losing money and this can
lead to a disaster.
