How Republican Dominated State Government Fails Texas Repeatedly...

 You might have heard recently that there's been a deadly environmental disaster in the Texas Hill Country.

In a press conference the governor of Texas deflected a question about disaster preparedness with an ignorant football reference. It demonstrated the vacant attitude with which the Republican criminal syndicate (RCS), in Texas, has approached state services.  The RCS dominated state government in Texas has failed, many times, to provide the kind of assistance that could have saved lives, including in the Guadalupe River area known as “flash-flood alley.”

The RCS dominated state government in Texas has consistently withheld the kind of spending needed to provide proper services for the state's large population.  The state legislature has created, “budget surpluses,” by not using the money we, Texans, pay in taxes.

The Texas government has instead created the slush fund known as, “the Rainy Day Fund...”

Texas has a very regressive state taxing system: those who can afford it least, pay the largest percentage of their income in taxes.  The Texas legislature could, and has often talked about, giving relief to said heavily burdened tax payers, but has never done it.

Texas' RCS government has failed, repeatedly, to serve the citizens of Texas. From floods, freezes, shootings, etc...  Too many Texans have been needlessly injured and killed.

It is well past time, for far too many Texans who've been injured or killed, for the voters of Texas to elect a government that tries to best serve every Texan...  

I've been a Democratic, candidate for the Texas legislature, multiple times, so I'm not an objective observer. However, voting in your own best interest is to vote for Democrats.  Give (y)ourselves a chance.
