You just couldn't make this shit up if you tried....Texas, who thumbs its nose to zoning laws, federal regulations, hate the gov. at every fuckin turn, houses wealth, but is thus far the only state in US history to bankrupt a federal program that they hate...FEMA....not only that, is now trying to dismiss EPA warnings in the mist.....you can't make this shit up.

Maybe we shouldn't!!

Texas pays the 2nd most federal taxes of any state in the Union so make like the monkey that you are and go hang from a tree.

Texas is avowedly a low-tax state. There is no personal income tax. There is no corporate income tax (although there is a surrogate tax on corporate receipts). There is no state-level tax on estates or inheritances. Texas ranks No. 46 out of the 50 states in state and local tax burden per capita, according to recent data from the Tax Foundation. It ranks 43rd in state tax revenue per capita.
There is no single correct answer for how to split the aid to Texas between loans and grants. But the generosity of Americans outside Texas will be severely abused unless Congress requires Texas to raise the tax burden on itself to help pay the costs of Harvey.

Texas should pay for it own shit.

people say the same about California too....

Not about the low-tax burden part.

im talking about the Texas should pay for their own shit part........

Federal aid is funded by Federal income taxes, which usually comes out of people's checks.

Which is why it would require raising the federal individual income taxes.

Wat?!

How about reducing government waste first?

I agree Texas should shoulder part of the burden, but I'm sure it is. This "screw regulations" thing is catching up with them, though. "Live free" can have consequences when you live in a flood zone that is frequently hit by hurricanes. I was listening to the mayor of the Keys yesterday, talking about what he thought would be the damage to his area, were Irma to make a direct hit. The mayor talked about how they had all been forced to build stronger and higher and he anticipated they would make it through the storm pretty well, regardless. (People had already been evacuated).
Although people no doubt bitched and moaned about the stricter, more expensive building code for rebuilding past storm damage, it is paying off for them.
Houston has pretty much flipped all that off, saying "Come build in a flood zone for cheap; none of this pesky government telling us what or how or where to build." So there is some of that Houston could learn from, if they choose to.
