I have to tell you, I really hate this state. I am in the military stationed at NAS Kingsville (South Texas). This is the most liberal state I have been stationed in throughout my 24 years in the Navy. I pay over $9000 a year in property taxes on a $365,000 house.....insane! Florida was half of that (Just moved from Jacksonville). I have never seen a city cop (I live in Corpus) and the city services are horrible. The taxes and fees are punishing here. Plus, I get the extra benefit of feeling like I am back in a third world hell-hole. I did some volunteer work at the Kleberg county hospital and had to quit doing it because I was so disgusted with the system. It was a Mexican anchor baby factory. These non-American, zero English speaking children (young teenage Mexicans) would pump out babies and leave the hospital with loads of loot....car seats, mountains of diapers, etc......free of charge. We had one of our children here and they charged us for a single aspirin (like $5). Wake up retards (liberals), there will not be a country left in about a decade!

It's the area of Texas you are in, not all of the state is like that. However, the mexican baby factory is everywhere. And as more libs are elected to state office, the worse it gets.

YUP, the property taxes are an outrage; and no income tax to offset the federal burden. Houston as well, now referred to as “Houston CWOC”, or Houston City without Cops.

It’ll only get worse; that’s why I bought a sombrero and live in a $60,000.00 house 20 years ago and beat the taxes by reporting a cracked slab that keeps the valuation down to $60,000.00.

My guess is (and no insult intended to you as military), that in 50 years, if they wanted to, the Mexican Army could roll up here and the U.S. Feds wouldn’t even respond.

Una Mas Cerveza por favor.

BTW, wanted to mention that in order to beat the entirety of the broken system many of our friends and co-workers are taking early retirement, (at ages 55-62), in Mexico itself. There are great health insurance programs and the cost of living is about 1/4 what it is here. Large hospitals and clinics with doctors trained at the UT Medical school are available and pharmaceuticals are 1/10 what they are here. Best of all..........very few “Democrats” down there to screw things up.
