[TexasTowelie]

The “free market” responses ranged from ending annual tax reappraisals of residences and undoing the bedrock of water law to allowing school choice and creating a special fund for tax cuts.

3. I know, they'd like to keep he kids stuck on stupid.

4. Well..they could take those billions of federal Medicaid dollars.

Then, some of our tax dollars could be freed up for other things. I have never known a Red State to object to taking a federal handout before
