Trump is like an alcoholic in denial. The whole world is laughing at him behind his back. Well maybe not his best buddy, Vlad.

BTW, your new sig demonstrates ignorance as to how state taxes work. We have relatively high property and sales taxes here to make up for no income tax.

Next time please refer to my avatar first. It clearly states "I don't care".

On the subject of taxes, your sales tax is on par with CA of 8+%, guess property tax is about the same or lower than the Bay Area I would guess (around 1% where we live?). So to me no state tax means you spend less money living in TX.

So you want to rebuild Houston, use your own money.

Your Trump posts argue otherwise.

Dallas County property taxes are 179% higher than your Bay Area estimate rate.

Vlad laughing at him to his face?

I do not believe Vlad is a buddy. I believe Vlad would prefer someone more stable, more predictable. However Vlad was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Poor Vlad. He did what he could to ensure Trump got elected. Now he (and we) are stuck with this moron.

You are correct and you got me there, but who cares, eh?

As for Dallas, the impact of rates itself is not that significant when property values there are a fraction of what they sell for here? Median per square foot cost of a home in the bay area is $480. Yours is $200 (Dallas-Metro) and much lower outside.
