Well folks, my husband got a notice from his Medicare supplement insurance carrier on Saturday. And as stated by many people who are trying to warn us, like the article I posted from the lady at BCBS, his rates will increase drastically. In 2013, they go from the current $23.00/mo. to $32.00/mo. in 2013, and THEN in 2014 they will jump to $64.00/mo. We knew it was coming and I'm so glad some of the insurance companies are trying to warn us. So you Obama-ites go ahead and put this man back in the White House for another four years so he can go ahead and finish off the good old USA. I'm just grateful that I live in Texas, because you see, we can succeed and become a Republic again. Take your blinders off people, and stop drinking his kool-aid...it's laced with cionide. Go see the movie 2016. If that doesn't wake you up, there's absolutely no hope for you. God help us all, and God Bless the United States of America. This is my last post on the subject of Politics. I just pray that all the great information from this topic has woke up at least a few people.

It's a shame Rozarius left early found an interesting article in the Sunday San Antonio newspaper. This was aken from a meeting in Austin last week with regard to a State Income Tax.
How should we determine the marginal rates? Texas has a GSP comparable to Canada's GDP. The bottom provincial tax rate in Ontario is 15.05%. So, for conversation sake, let's make that the top marginal rate in Texas. This would ensure that the top earners in Texas are still paying less than the mid-income citizens of most other states. This revenue would help build and maintain public goods and services --schools (K-12 and higher education), subsidized childcare, infrastructure, cultural institutions, civil servants -- that are commensurate with the state's population growth and potential while still keeping it a relatively affordable tax for the majority of its citizens: the middle-class and working poor. Moreover, this would also allow Texas to keep corporate and business tax rates low in order to ensure that the state remains economically competitive.
