    A Republican in the Texas Legislature has introduced a new bill providing property tax breaks to qualifying couples/families. He represents a rural district east of Dallas.

    As written the bill would provide:

    • a 10% property tax credit to a "Qualifying married couple" which in the bill is defined as a "man and a woman who are legally married to each other, neither of whom have ever been divorced".

    Instead of the 10% credit

    • a 40% property tax credit to a "Qualifying married couple" who have 4 children (either natural birth or legally adopted)
    • a 50% property tax credit to a "Qualifying married couple" who have 5 children
    • a 60% property tax credit to a "Qualifying married couple" who have 6 children
    • a 70% property tax credit to a "Qualifying married couple" who have 7 children
    • a 80% property tax credit to a "Qualifying married couple" who have 8 children
    • a 90% property tax credit to a "Qualifying married couple" who have 9 children
    • a 100% property tax credit to a "Qualifying married couple" who have 10 or more children

    He's more likely to hang out with Radovan and Charles (Taylor).  lol

    Never worked out well for the guy in Sudan, he’s still there. Absent an invasion or a Noriega type deal, I think he’d be safe.

  6. Democracy doesn’t work in the region; there’s too much tribalism and violent repercussions for minorities. See: Lebanon and Israel. 

    Secular Dictators are a necessary proposition, not perfect by any means, but being equal opportunity offenders allows for the growth of a more stable society. 

    Syria under Assad is much better than the alternative. Iraq under Saddam, the same. As was Qaddafi in Libya, or the dictators sandwiching the disastrous Morsi experiment in Egypt. Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, ditto. 

    We +++++ed up killing Qaddafi, the people in that country have experienced far greater atrocities since then than they ever did before.

    And Obamas self admitted biggest blunder of his presidency.  Libya had a standard of living on par with many European countries.  Obama/Clinton/Biden administration turned it into hell with open air slave markets.  He was the best thing to ever happen to that country.

    Just like Assad is in Syria. Killing Qaddafi was a strategic blunder for more than a few reasons. Not as dumb as W killing Saddam, which was an all-time work of idiocy, but def on a level of stupidity otherwise unseen since we took out Milosevic.
