taxes- pretty succinct

According to the theory advanced by your party, your brothers taxes should be paid by you.  You know, the old Obama "fair share" theory. Additionally, if and when a tax reduction comes along, the left way would be for your brother ( even though he is paying nothing) to scream that the reduction only benefits the rich.

I don't think so.  Have I said anything in this thread that is inaccurate or overtly biased?  ( On the other hand, my guess is that there is no such thing as a $270,000 value disparity for two houses in the same neighborhood/street.   I believe it was "created" to try and make a point and that point was fallacious.

No Tobie, your party says you should pay more because it believes the government is more capable of deploying/investing money than a successful business enterprise is.  That philosophy is a major contributor to the FACT  that the last President is the only one in history who had a two term stint in which he NEVER had a year with 3% GDP growth.     Hmmm- let me see-  If Apple or Amazon pays some more monies to the government via taxes, will the government make that money more productive or could Apple and Amazon have done better with it?

I own a 300,000 home in Beaumont,  my brother owns a 30,000 home in Beaumont. Both homes are on half acre lots on the same street. Why are my property taxes so much higher on my 300,000 dollar home, my brother needs to pay more, or I should pay less!

 the REAL problem is that *82% of African Americans with children receive Government hand outs - NO TAXES PAID just loafing on the rest of us

Funny, most subdivisions don't have that range of Home values.  BTW sorry for you having to live in Beaumont

I would question that as well, unless Toby overbuilt in the hood or its on the same road on opposite sides of town.

The way you preach about helping the poor, how can you let this happen?  It seems you should be helping your brother out.  You live in $300K home, while your brother is in a $30K home. Such a travesty, you should be ashamed.

That is a lie and you know it

That is B.S.  There are more white people who get assistance. I don't believe it, but if 82% of black people get assistance, the number of white people  " on the system" probably still outnumber them.

You vote for a party that thinks it is okay for a poor person to pay a greater percentage of their income in taxes when compared to their rich counterparts, yet you have the audacity to get upset when reading this post. You have proved his point. Shame on you.

Why do you feel the need to post blatant lies?

I'm not upset.  He talks about helping the poor, but his brother seems to not be doing well.  He should be helping him.  Glad to see the stupidity has returned.

From the article: The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously last week to become a "sanctuary city," categorically withholding any municipal assistance to federal immigration authorities despite a bevy of illegal immigrants arrested there for violent crimes and even violence against children this year.  The 13-0 vote last Tuesday comes weeks after President-elect Donald Trump's ballot-box victory and in the same year that dozens of illegal immigrants were picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers in the L.A. metro area for murder, homicide and assault against children.  So far this year, Los Angeles ERO has arrested 1,263 illegal immigrants in the metro area so far this year, and 715 of them had criminal convictions, according to ICE data. The agency gathered 19,726 noncitizens between 2021 and 2024, and 7,255 of them, about 36%, had prior criminal convictions. That includes 26 illegal immigrants with pending charges or convictions for murder, homicide and assault against children who were arrested in the Los Angeles area during a nationwide operation from Jan. 16-28, ICE said.

    • Take a look at this chart.  It shows how many kids per year transfer outside of the District WHILE LIVING IN GCCISD DISTRICT.  They reside within GCCISD, but attend school outside of it.  These numbers are straight from TEA. “TEA maintains data on students living in Goose Creek CISD who attend other public schools”, So we’re not even talking about kids whose families move or who use MeeMaw’s address.  That’s 100+ per year who still live in GCCISD and hitch a ride out to BHISD and back each day.  A lot of cars in that car rider line out of Baytown.  You think at least 10% of them aren’t athletes?  Maybe more like 20%?  C’mon, man, it’s plain to see and like I’ve been telling other folks ALL the successful programs do it.  It’s just gonna get a LITTLE harder to do it after 8/1/25, that’s all.  Won’t stop it, might not even slow it down much, but it’s gonna affect things a bit.
    • I forgot basketball is Division 1 and 2 now. So BH may have a chance 
    • BHISD isn’t all Riceland, there’s plenty of cheaper houses, trailer parks, RV Parks, etc and I hear there’s Apartment Complexes going in soon.  Also, you don’t even have to move there as long as you’ve got a MeeMaw or Auntie in BHISD zone, you just sign an affidavit that your kid is living with MeeMaw or Auntie and they’re in.  Don’t take my word for it, I already posted GCCISDs numbers showing twice as many GCCISD kids are transferring to BHISD than to the other surrounding Districts, 100+ per year.  If only 10% of those are for athletic purposes that’s 10 athletes a year minimum and I’m willing to bet it’s a little higher.   What’s also true and the point I was trying to make there is that as Riceland fills up it’s definitely going to change BHISD.  Those homes start at $500k and run up past $1M.  Gonna be a lot less “Country” and a lot more White Collar.
