>Don't forget that TACC and friends are supported by taxpayers

Dear Lord no. Keep it to yourself please. The less my neighbors know about it, the better. If they find out their tax dollars are being spent on that instead of something to do with the border, or catching drug smugglers, they'll holler from now until the next season of Duck Dynasty distracts them.

Actually I feel like the tax money in Texas is well spent. In Illinois I pay higher taxes and never see how any of it benefits me - every year the roads and other infrastructure gets worse. In Texas, it felt like the Tax money delivered a return in service. That said, governments change and I have no idea what Texas will look like a decade from now.
