Please cite sources for that and the methodology they used to make that determination. I do not believe it will works to be anything remotely close to that.
Which just goes to show how high the property taxes are. Texas houses are indeed cheaper yet those cities have over 10% of their residents exceeding $10,000 a year in property taxes. That further makes the point.
Yes and no, when you factor in what your mortgage payment is on top of it, 500 vs 2500 is pretty easy to choose. Plus, high property taxes in TX means you are on acres of land. Not postage stamp size parcels close to the beach. They have no income tax last I looked at overall taxes.
we need to cut welfare benefits and Medicaid to get this tax cut paid for.
That's ridiculous and it's Leftist Talking Points. We need reform in Medicare, Welfare, Medicaid and even Social Security to clean out the GRAFT and CORRUPTION and to save those programs for people who actually NEED them.
The projected price of the Tax Cuts bill is nothing compared to what we have seen in the last decade. How do you compare more than a Trillion Per Year to a Trillion and a Half over a 10 year period and expect to be taken seriously? The TAX CUTS don't "cut Welfare" benefits, but future Legislation needs to figure out how to "change" the way they work. The TAX CUT Bill doesn't touch Social Security or Medicare, but we have to do something to keep both solvent for the future.
Here's a TIP ....... pay attention to what is FACT in Legislation instead of what "might be" or "may" or other Left Wing Talking Points.
That is very misleading and temporary. The GOP gave some people dessert before dinner, targeting colleges, blue states and some red states while giving the massive bulk of tax benefits to corporations and the wealthiest, including Trump. This bill also increases the deficit by $1.5 Trillion, which the GOP will use as justification to go after Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
"Compared to the current tax law, 5 percent of taxpayers would pay more tax in 2018, 9 percent in 2025, and 53 percent in 2027."

Acres of land in Austin and Houston? Where over 10% of the homes have property taxes that exceed $10,000 per year?
And from the source cited, it looks like Wisconsin is also "pulling a Kansas":
"Wisconsin ranks 20th in the country, according to Jon Peacock, the research director of Kids Forward, which advocates for needy children and families.
Peacock noted that the state's falling tax ranking hasn't kept Wisconsin from lagging in job creation compared with other states in recent years."
