TEXAS PROSPERITY PLAN

THE BREAKDOWN

1. End Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Local governments use your taxes to hire lobbyists who push for more of your money, diverting funds from family needs like schools. Texans for Fiscal Responsibility demands a ban on this practice, as 95% of Republican voters supported in 2020. Let elected officials represent you directly, saving money for your community.

2. Eliminate Property Taxes

Property taxes, up 181% in 20 years, burden families even after homeownership. With Texas’ $32.6 billion surplus, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility proposes phasing out these taxes, starting with school taxes, to save families thousands for essentials. Over 75% of Republican voters agree it’s time to act.

3. Cap State Budget Growth

Texas’ budget has grown 170% since 2000, far beyond population growth, inflating government costs. Texans for Fiscal Responsibility calls for capping the budget and cutting waste to prioritize families’ needs, like education, using the $32.6 billion surplus. Contact lawmakers to demand fiscal discipline now.
