Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : We can dramatically slash property taxes if we impose an income tax to pay for public schools.
45% : They also provide a homestead exemption, which limits how quickly taxes may rise.
44% : Even with a homestead exemption, many families are priced out of their neighborhoods by taxes alone.
43% : By adding a third leg to the tax stool, as other states do, the elderly can keep their homes, and Texans pay taxes based on what they earn, not what they own.
39% : The owner of a $300,000 home would see a $100 drop in taxes, assuming the value did not rise.
