There is another point that seems to be lost on the out-of-state Perry bashers.
These are the children of Texas taxpayers. Texas has no income tax; it relies on statewide sales tax to raise revenue to fund the sate government, and to provide aid to education in Texas.
The children of Oklahomans who don’t ordinarily pay Texas state sales taxes on their purchases have no moral claim on the resources of the State of Texas.
So, all that is happening in Texas is that these particular Texas taxpayers are paying the same tuition as their neighbors and fellow Texas taxpayers. I can’t see what’s so wrong with this.
Not to mention the long-term benefits to Texas, in that those who are deemed to be deserving are allowed to continue their education instead of being restricted to low-end jobs or worse for the rest of their lives.
They are profiting from a criminal act. I do see a problem with that. But then again, I’m heartless.
