A response to a classmate

This is a response to Mr. Barrada's post "Income Tax? Whatever." I agree with this, it would be nice to have some more money to go towards things like improving roads and a better public education system.  Also if it would encourage Californians not to move here, that would be good.  However, I doubt even if the Texas government did impose the horrible, dreaded income tax, the money would be used to fund either of those.  The public school system is one of the worst in the nation, and the GOP doesn’t seem to have any intention at fixing it by raising the budget.
