Listen actively, and put your biases aside. Just be careful and don't bend over for the biggest screwing We the People will have ever experienced, and how the corporate globalists and power elite will receive the largest fiscal benefit in our nation's history.
Remember, the R's promise this reform will put $1,100 dollars in your pocket - Wow - but neglect to explain you costs will go up when the Mortgage Deduction, the taxes you paid for state and local and special districts are eliminated forever. Listen carefully if what you think this is too good to be true, your are correct. Ryan is currently lying to you.
But worry not, Ryan is telling you what you want to hear, so believe him if you want, Just remember, don't bend over.
No state tax's here so no big. It's about time other states starte paying their own bills.
I image Texas has the same problem we in California experience, and that is the cost to local and state governments to arrest, detain, and bring to trial undocumented persons, and upon conviction pay those committed to County or State jails/prisons the cost of their incarceration.
Your comment on revenue sharing and other assorted funds - grants, etc. - sent to the several states are monies mostly returned to the states by taxes paid by citizens and businesses from the states to the Feds.
Some states get more than they sent, others do not.
