GRR i hate tax season

Yeah...and I'm supposed to lose 15-20 pounds per my recent physical......but that hasn't happened yet either.

Anyone know anything about PT's in Texas and what the state's plans are...if any? In many areas it's become an issue (Austin, San Antonio, Dallas-Ft Worth and many cities surrounding the metroplex.....can't speak for Houston though per the aftermath of the recent hurricane, etc).

And the fact that school taxes, not just the school districts but college-level taxing entities, have been raised EVERYTIME they are allowed to ( with the lyin libs line " It's for the children / students " ) with NO way to protest or appeal their tax rate. Why is it right for a married couple in the 70's, or older, living on a fixed income, with their last child having graduated the local school system 38 years ago, to STILL have to pay taxes for the tranny-promoting, anti-gun, unionized teacher, thug kids with their trousers at their knees, history-revisionist school system ?

With how liberal Austin is, and how liberal dallas and houston are going, i am not so sure i'd call it a solid red state these days.

purple is more likely
