But it's a R, and there is no shortage of Rs introducing bills like this. |

I mean... you don't think that even the fact that this is put forward is a bit concerning? And if you think its just one person putting it forward for the point of making the libs crazy, do you not think that they are misusing their time in office? "In order to qualify for the tax benefit, couples need to be heterosexual, never divorced, and their children born or adopted after their date of marriage. LGBTQ couples, single parents, divorced parents, and blended families will not qualify for full benefits. H.B. 2889 would provide qualifying couples with a 40 percent property tax reduction if they have four children, with the tax break increasing for every additional child. Couples with 10 or more children would pay no property tax at all. Just getting started? A couple that meets the requirements laid out by the bill gets a 10% reduction even before they have children. " Should we not expect sensationalism from elected representatives? Like, cmon. |

Whether it's only one person and whether or not it passes doesn't matter. What matters is that this is part of an overall PATTERN meant to reshape this country based on religious dogma. We were also told by the Right that we were over-reacting when we said abortion would be banned or severely limited in this country--we were right. |

From the Feds…in 2002…note the policy chart. |

Exactly, there are stupid bills getting proposed all the time in many states by both Repubs and Dems. They never see the light of day for a reason. But certainly they serve their entertainment purpose and getting people taking and fluffing up their feathers. Then they disappear into oblivion and everyone forgets it. |

Do you have more than 5 children? |

No, Im failing the criteria. I would say we do need more babies so I could be neutral, or even give some passive support to the Texas Baby Bill. |

 Yes, your ilk. The fact is that this has been proposed as a bill. An American lawmaker introduced this. Maybe in whatever second rate country you sprang from this kind of bill is okay, but it isn’t here.
Go spiral into a finite cycle of outrage about Teletubbies or Dr Seuss or a tan suit. You’re a troll. |

| This is going to be great for the highly educated, elite liberals in Austin and Houston, who tend to marry later and stay married for life. Probably not so much for Cletus in Hill Country who beat his missus one too many times and who left him when money got tight, not like he ever had much to save in taxes anyway. |
