God Bless Debra Medina...
Does anyone here remember her? I doubt very many do. But I know who she was.
She ran for governor of Texas in 2010.
She was a good Ron Paul supporter and candidate for Governor of Texas.
She ran on a platform of ABOLISHING PROPERTY TAXES.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regarding property rights, whenever a republican talks about property rights I know they are hypocrites.
How do I know this? Because republicans support PROPERTY TAXES.
Property taxes are COMMUNISTIC because they imply that GOVERNMENT - not private citizens - owns their property.
This is directly out of the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels.
If anyone argues with me on this point (which is typical of a republican) then I challenge them to cease paying their property taxes and see how long it takes before a government agent knocks on your door and EVICTS you and turns you property over to the government (And probably throws you in jail for good measure).
EVEN if you own your property outright it is NOT YOURS.
Here is more proof that republicans are UTTER HYPOCRITES...
In 2010 a woman named Debra Medina ran for governor of the State of Texas AS A REPUBLICAN.
She promised if elected that she would ABOLISH property taxes and instead treat real estate like any other consumer item and charge sales taxes.
It would be a one time tax added to the sale price of the property.
But once paid off, a property owner would own their real estate outright with no further taxes - ever.
And as with automobiles, whenever real estate changes hands there would be a sales tax applied.
Medina argued that revenues would be roughly neutral and it would do away with the Communistic government ownership of property - which property taxes imply.
But do you think the hypocrite republicans would nominate her? NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Medina was marginalized and pretty much disappeared from politics - JUST like the republicans wanted.
It is for reasons such as THIS that I know republicans are HYPOCRITES and LIARS.
They are actually WORSE than democrats because at least democrats ADMIT they are all for Communism and government THEFT.
Republicans are wolves in sheep's clothing - claiming to be conservative but are so only in name - not practice.
In closing I will mention the following factoid about Medina which answers any questions about why the republicans shunned her...
Debra Medina (born June 1, 1962) was a Republican politician in the U.S. state of Texas.
She was allied with the Ron Paul and Tea Party movements.
Enough said!
