Yesterday, Texas State Representative Bryan Slaton filed HB2889 titled “Providing Property Tax Relief to Families.”

The bill, which is already massively triggering liberals, would give Texas families property tax relief based on how many kids they have. It’s intended to promote marriage, discourage divorce, and encourage having or adopting kids. Under the proposed law, any couple who marries and stays married gets a 10% property tax credit. A family with four or more biological or adopted kids would get a 40% tax credit, and — if you can imagine this — for extremely intimate couples having ten or more kids, up to a complete 100% tax credit.

We have to do SOMETHING about population decline. This is a great start. Slaton’s bill faces all kinds of backlash and opposition, but we’ll keep an eye on it.
