“We have no personal income tax, no corporate income tax and now we have cut the business franchise tax by 25%. We have sped up the permitting process and we are elevating our education system so that we will have the best workforce in the United States of America.”
“What we did this past legislative session is we made Texas an even better place to do business. While a lot of states are talking about increasing taxes, we just cut taxes by about $4 billion. On top of cutting taxes, we invested in securing the border, we invested in higher education and we are spending $4 billion in transportation infrastructure, without raising a single penny in taxes, fees, tolls or debt.”
