Prosperity for US Foundation leaders are encouraging the President to propose a budget and to veto any legislation that increases federal spending beyond income growth and to use the State of the Union Address to challenge governors, federal, and state lawmakers to adopt similar guardrails.

Texas citizens have launched a new property tax revolt not unlike that launched by Prop 13 in California in the 1970s. Governor Abbot recently called a special session of the Texas legislature to enact property tax reforms. This year Texas citizens have used the initiative process to propose seventeen new amendments to the constitution, some of which are designed to provide tax relief.

The Prosperity for US Foundation, a national nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to propelling the prosperity of American families by requiring voter approval for increasing property and other taxes, is calling for urgent reforms to stop Washington’s destructive cycle of brinksmanship, inflationary overspending, and reckless budgeting as the nation faces yet another looming government shutdown.
