I understand that schools would be affected. Maybe add 2 cents to the sales tax and have them go directly to education? I just hate seeing people who worked their whole lives lose their paid off homes. Happens to often.

Texas will always find a way to screw the low income, and the poor.

How often do low income people in Texas lose their homes, because they can't afford to pay property taxes? What kind of numbers are you talking about?

How many low income people in Texas actually own their own homes?

How many schools would be shut down and how many low income students and their families would that affected?

It comes down to the numbers, after all is said and done!

while the poorer (minority) kids will get no education which is just how Greg Abbott wants it.

The whole party is basically against education. Those without an education will have no choice but to work for low wages, and be told that God wants them to vote for Rethuglicans. That knowledge is evil.

Nah, that's crazy. No taxes. That will solve everything.

Most likely many poor Texans barely make enough to pay rent. Rental Facility owners pay Property taxes. What a windfall that would be for them.

I've been scoping out apartments here in Houston and in Albuquerque and there are a lot of vacancies. People with spare rooms are renting them out. Others have decided to live in their vehicles. I've considered it myself. I'm glad I'm single. I can't imagine being a renter with a family.

The only people who need an education is those that can afford it. Public education is just Socialism...

to give to the rich. Rich people can have more money than they could spend in 10 lifetimes and it's never enough. Once they've eliminated all taxes on the rich and all public services, they'll charge rent for poor people to enter a grocery store.

I can't imagine the contempt with which they must hold the not-rich. If compassion is not possible, could they at least notice that someone has to do all the work they don't want to do to have their luxurious lifestyles? Do they hate the people who serve them and labor for them? I wonder what that is like. I'm guessing not as nice as the experience of helping people. But they will never know.

Yet they want people to work for them and wait on them for practically nothing and are to vain to see their own hypocrisy.

It would not surprise me if hundreds of thousands, if not millions, leave the state. Do these high and mighty rich Texans think that Texans are going to do the shit jobs for little pay?

Maybe Texas will do the same. Both states are pulling in billions from the relaxing of oil & gas regulations. Both states are getting more polluted too .

Texas is #1 and NM is #2 in oil production in US. Forbes - “ In Texas in 2022, the oil and natural gas industry paid almost $25 billion in state and local taxes and state royalties, by far the largest ever - the previous high was $16 billion”

After NM paid all its bills last yr it still had a billion to invest for the future. What I don’t get is why is most of the oil produced by these 2 states getting exported according to Forbes.
