About this sermon
A proposal in the state of Texas could mean massive tax breaks for families. The bill aimed at encouraging marriage and family formation in the Lone Star State, would provide married couples with a 10% deduction on their property taxes. The credit jumps to 40% for couples with 4 or more children and increases by 10% per additional child. President of Texas Values, Jonathan Saenz, joins to tell us about it and what prompted it. The proposal is inspired by policies seen in Poland and in Hungary to lift falling birth rates. And just last week at CPAC, former President Trump said he wanted to incentivize people to have more babies. Saenz shares more about population trends in the state of Texas and whether the birth rate declining is similar to what we see in many other US states. The bill is catching flack from the left for its exclusion of divorced and same-sex couples. Saenz discusses whether those voices will hold this bill up and where he sees it going. On another note, in other Texas news, Federal Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk is poised to ban the abortion pill nationwide, specifically the drug mifepristone. Saenz explains more about this case and its far reaching implications. He fills us in on what other news he is following.
