VIDEO: ADVANCING THE TEXAS MODEL: WILL A SIMPLE TAX SYSTEM DRIVE PROSPERITY? – PO2016

Don't miss this video of a panel I moderated recently on advancing the Texas model with a simple tax system. 

The Texas model of low taxes, no individual income tax, moderate regulation, and a good lawsuit climate has generated prosperity for many Texans. Despite these gains, is the state’s tax system with an onerous business franchise tax and burdensome local property taxes the most efficient? Join us as the panel discusses potential improvements to the state’s tax structure so that the budget meets the needs of Texans while providing an environment conducive to the greatest economic opportunity for them to succeed.
