Jeff what do you think are you paying to much in taxes
i certainly think that in some cases i am but uh i think it's mostly on the federal area were i don't see as much
maybe for for my money as uh i might uh i thought of
school taxes as well and i was very involved in schools uh in the local community a couple years ago and it was pretty easy to see where it went all there but i guess i have the same opinion that some American have that uh uh it's all fat
how about you
well i i i'm one of those that i'm kind of glad i don't get all the government i pay for
i tell me more i don't understand
well i just ship off so much money to the federal government and if they really uh took it and and did things to govern me well that would be a lot more government than what i think i need
uh
oh uh the one i guess that on a daily basis the one that bother me is the sale tax i'm paying eight and a quarter percent on sale tax
yes
at
yeah that that adds up
yeah and and you know you you put put your money down on the counter thinking that is enough to pay for it then you need another dollar because you had not guess right on the sale tax
uh-huh
it certainly adds up quickly yes
and i've heard it said that of course that effect that effect us across the board in terms of social economic uh areas everybody pays that sale tax
oh yes
um i guess that's i i guess i'm luck here i only pay five percent
and
that that sound great to me
well if you want to move here uh all you have to do is find a job so i guess you trade things off one way or another
yeah i suppose so
yeah there there has been a lot of going on in Texas in term of financing schools
uh there some judge decide that we had to have pay equal amount to students i mean you know education dollars per student all across the state well as you know it's very large state
um-hum
cool
and it certainly cost more in in some areas than it does in others
exactly they uh
and
the they they call it the robin hood plan plan taking from the from the mostly prosperous urban district or suburb district and passing it alone to the rural districts so i don't know that that's going to be in the courts for a long time
i would think so uh that sort of thing has been tried here and
the results are results the results were not too hardening uh and the belief here is uh kind of education what do we need that for
huh well that that's about the attitude here is just that you know if if you're paying for your local tax you're paying your local school district you can see some results of it but it's if you stop and think that some of that money is going to go get shipped off to South Texas or something
yeah
you it its almost like i don't know socialism or something isn't it
exactly uh and i would think base upon my experience you have to have some of that uh consider uh some of these places in Idaho that have a school district of a total of about two hundred or three hundred children
yeah
and there a certain amount of overhead in running a school district uh for instance those kids may be spread out uh over an area where driving the buses you may go forty or fifty or even sixty miles
and
can you really expect the uh the people in that district to support all that overhead of getting the kids to and from school so some of the money come through the states from all people in the state basically equal well base upon their income
to i'm sorry i i take i that back a little bit of it comes from their income uh
to support doing thing like that and that's probably okay uh it's kind of like telephone where uh the folk that live in the middle of town subsidize for people that have lines that go out for four or five miles
uh-huh
uh the other thing that we have is a property tax and that tend to subsidies part of it also
uh the disadvantage there of course the people get into is they say hey i don't have any kids in school i've been retried for thirty five years and i'm still paying for somebody education
i know huh
huh
yeah
i i guess i'm a believe in yes you have to you have to have some overhead just like uh i never used the fire department but at the some time i'll hate to have to ante up before they got here
yes it's true
that's true do you have income tax and
yes yes yes we still pay that i suspect it's not quite a higher percentage as you may pay
we don't have a state income tax yet
well
huh it's coming
it's it's on its way i i'm almost certain
yeah
uh but that's why we have that eight and a quarter percent sales tax
i i certainly
that's true
and and you know the the damage
