Unbelievable Austin Statesman Editorial

The Austin Statesman newspaper editorial board has blatantly endorsed a NO vote on Proposition 4 to amend the Texas Constitution to make it virtually impossible to impose a state income tax.

This position is against 70% of Texas voters as shown in a recent poll.

The audacity of the major newspaper in Austin, the Capitol of Texas, to call for voters to defeat Proposition 4 and allow current or future legislatures to impose an income tax by a simple majority vote is truly mind boggling!

They decry the loss of a potential revenue stream for the State that would allow government to grow ever larger. It is clear what a ever growing government does to taxes and public safety. Just look at the Austin city government with their attempts to impose health insurance requirements on all businesses and their non-solutions to a growing homelessness and drug problem on the streets of Austin. The list goes on as the progressives/socialists try to reduce individual freedoms and exert more control over our individual lives.

Here is the key statement: "We strongly urge voters to defeat Prop 4."

Ignore the Statesman's recommendation and vote for Proposition 4! Control the growth of government by limiting its income sources!
