How bad are the taxes? The property taxes are really what soured me on Texas. I know some areas are better than others, but I just couldn’t justify paying that much ‘rent’ to the state.
The Clunker deal was bad. Waste of money and ruined alot of used motors for nothing. Some people do not want to buy or can’t buy new cars. I put a used motor in my pick up truck before this terrible program began.
A little over $2400 this last year. They hit oil and gas in the county so that could go down because of the increase in value of the oil producing properties.
No income tax. Property taxes decrease after 65. Sales tax is about 8%. Overall no too bad.
The Clunker deal was another example of the stupidity and the fallacy of the Keynesian ‘broken windows’ theory that proposes destruction of resources will stimulate demand and result in overall economic growth. It’s as unnatural as Gay Marriage.
