If Star Locke wins he is proposing it.

50% tax on violent video games, additional taxes on abortion clinics and soft drinks. All to get rid of property taxes. (of course he so happens to be a large rancher and builder - gee wonder who's interest he is looking out for)?

I do not see this happeneing as Rick Perry is doing a pretty good job and the way he handled the two hurricanes helped increase his popularity even more. I know we try to nix political/religion posts here. Just mentioned it because vidoe games were mentioned.

Way to slide it in through the loophole 

I refuse to get involved with these discussions because they tend to degenerate.

I will only add that I think Locke's proposal might be popular with soccer moms because my sister use to live in TX and said that property taxes there were very high.

Now I'm outta this one.
