FWIW, that information you posted has been run through snopes.com.

I do take issue with the snopes.com reading of the tax redistribution as the comparative unit of measure under discussion(county land) was changed away from county/people back to just state.
Now this snopes.com page may be BS?
In anything political, if Snopes told me the sky was blue, I’d go out and check it for myself.
