In this newsletter, I discuss the latest dire fiscal situation in Washington, missed opportunities to cut property taxes in Texas, and how the third wave of COVID-19 is essentially over in Texas.
Property Taxes in Texas work against the idea that we own anything. If you don't pay real estate property taxes you will be subject to a lien on their property. I almost wish there was an income tax in Texas but that would be trading one for another. I think about the unintended consequences and settle on I need to be more careful in what I will legislatively I support. The republican party platform in Texas always has property taxes as an item. But no solutions/progress to the high rates.
I came for the Astros (predictable for me!), but stayed for the economics (despite being allergic to numbers!). I enjoyed the multi-subject approach, Vance, and color me a happy subscriber, 'cause even though I suffer from digititis (fear of integers, however irrational), I know I'll be reading the views of someone who shares my POV on all things patriotic!
I enjoyed meeting you and the fam on the train trip, Saturday (for central Texans, see https://www.austinsteamtrain.org/), and hope to see you again soon!
