Two Decades of Soaring Tax Bills
Texans have seen their tax bills soar over the past two decades. According
to the Texas Comptroller, property tax revenue exploded by 188 percent from
1992 to 2010, partially as a result of the proliferation of special purpose
districts, increasing by 57 percent more than population growth and
inflation over this period.
Texas’ crushing property tax problem has become so pervasive that tax
reform has become a central campaign issue for most candidates on both sides
of the aisle, including most prominently in the race for Lieutenant
Governor. Texans, like Americans, are fed up with property taxes and hunger
for relief.
Enter the property tax-sales tax swap.
Not long ago, the Texas Public Policy Foundation released an innovative tax
modernization study, Enhancing Texas’ Economic Growth Through Tax Reform,
authored by President Ronald Reagan’s chief economic advisor Dr. Arthur
Laffer and his associates, that offers a sensible path forward. | s******b

，黄金地段房价被炒上天。年老退休的人不再需要搬出大房子，房屋资源紧缺，导致房
价进一步上涨。
各种依靠房产税的公共服务如公立学校的资金来源变成州政府，州税上调，原来按地区
分摊的公共服务费变成按人头算。有房产没工作的人可以无偿享受各种公共福利，从“
你有房产就得交税”变成“你有工作就得交税”。

一步上升。 | z**********i
