re: #60 Lord Of The Pies

A related anecdote from work: The other day I saw a press release laying around that had come out during the 2014 election. It was for a state proposition (which passed) that was concerned with additional infrastructure funding for Texas. I don’t remember the exact wording, but the press release whined about how the funding gap they were trying to fill existed because of “stagnant revenue sources” that haven’t gone up in over 20 years.

Gee. It’s almost as if no state income tax and a constant feeding frenzy of tax cuts would lead to a funding gap for basic services. Who knew?
