Winchester Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I think it would cause more suffering than it would alleviate. I wonder that states could not exploit tax deductions for state income tax in order to reduce the Federal government's intake of funds. Much as I hate playing the game they initiated, it's sometimes necessary as a stopgap measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eustace scrubb Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 The "lib'rul" comment was a joke. Chill out. Anyhow, I don't know what you mean by saying that a lot of those federal taxes come from you guys in the first place. Are you talking about things like the money generated from oil production?

[/quote] Your face can chill out. I'm talking about the money from Texans and trade in Texas that goes straight to the Federal government in taxes. In addition, Texas supplies many of the people who kill for the political class. I send a few thousand to the federal government every year from my paycheck.
