Here we go another Republican politician wanting to raise sales Taxes a full one percent across the board after they gave the biggest Tax Cut In 2016 for Big business on the Federal level. Of course, there is no inflation yet but Republicans are coming out saying they need to Tax the poor and whatever is left of the middle class to fund government Spending! It's outrageous to think only Democrats are the problem here.

They wish to reduce property taxes for the rich land/building owners on the shoulders of the working poor. Tax and spend and redirect taxes on the bottom level to get the most gain for the rich,is their plan. All politicians are nothing but crooks bankrupting the country into more debt for their own gain! I say cut The Budget and stop having foreign wars with increased military spending and giving away money to other countries.

Texas' top three political leaders ? Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dennis Bonnen ? threw their support Wednesday behind a proposal to increase the sales tax by 1 percentage point in order to lower property taxes across the state.

But that's only if lawmakers agree to limit future local property tax increases.

-- The federal government reported a $146.9 billion deficit in March, causing annual debt to rise 15% for the first half of the budget year compared to the same period in 2018.

Go into debt and to hell with a balanced budget just like Obama administration! Tax and spend!
