And people believe Texas is the best place to live? Really? I know that property taxes are through the roof and now they are taxing even more roads than the millions they already tax through tolls. Yieks! We dodge a serious bullet getting rid of that horrid Governor Perry as the Republican nominee.
You are so right, Texas is horrible. Please stay away.
And yea, we stuck with that horrible guy that was one of the few Governors with the cojones to stand up to zero and his medicaid fraud, but thank goodness everyone got to vote for Mittens instead. Definitely a real man.
Incomming. LOL
Texas is a horrible place to live. All kinds of bugs - super hot.
Yeah, you’ve got your head on straight here naps.
NO income tax. I love the aspect of “user pays.” I can choose to got the airport via I-45 (free,) provided that I get up an hour earlier, or use the Hardy toll road. In Dallas, you can get everywhere you need to go on free roads, given enough time.
The first “good” roads were private gravel thoroughfares in the NE, hence the operator, “turned the pike.”
Toll roads are the ultimate expression of consumer choice.
“I know that property taxes are through the roof...”
Sorry, only property tax RATES are high. Property taxes are in line with both the West and East Coasts, simply because their property values are much higher than ours.
As to the rest of the country, yes we pay more, but most of the country also has income tax and non-deductible sales taxes.
