is corporate taxation. The franchise tax is a joke. Most corporate "citizens" in Texas pay zero---that is: nought-nil-odus-none! To me, that is an abomination! We 'rebate' all these corporate taxes to make a business-friendly climate when all it does is fatten the CEO's paycheck.

And as an educator in west Texas who is a property owner, I chuckle at the 'fixing' of Robin Hood. My take on it is that only the wealthy districts that pay in to Robin are the ones squealing about 'fixing' it. It's like the Re-pube tools of "framing" the argument: "tax relief" implies something is oppressive... 'fixing Robin Hood' is letting all the underfunded districts go to hell-- we're keeping our money.
