I don't celebrate new taxes. I don't care who it targets. And I don't like compartmentalized taxes, like property tax.

"Property tax goes toward y"
Now property ownership doesn't exist in this country. Property tax was a sneaky way for the government to own your land. You pay off your home then lease it from the Gov through a property tax. If you don't pay, they take your home. None of it is OK
In England they have a tax, which is laughingly called a "road fund licence" (yes, that's the correct spelling). Of course only a tiny fraction goes towards road maintenance, as witnessed by the terrible state of some of them.

Guns, Guts, and Gonads. Stand tall. BE a Texan.
Stay out of Houston!!!
Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio are trashed.
We fled Dallas for Oklahoma. The reality of living in a Texas city may not live up to your expectations.
Austinites are fucked.
