| Content | I'm in the military. I have considered becoming a Texas resident for tax purposes and to retire there one day. But being born and raised for 18 years in Oklahoma I love my home. But yet I still struggle with paying nearly $200 a month to a state that I feel is not spending their large tax revenues smartly. On top of that, Oklahoma has one of the largest sales taxes I've seen in my travels. Teachers are at risk of losing their retirements! Roads are degrading and bridges falling! Yet our government felt that building a dome on the capitol building was a better idea! I realize that our state needs pride. We need to be okies once again. Allow military to not pay state taxes while they actively serve as a growing many other states allow. We are losing our pride of kindness and friendliness. Now that our guard is going to be activated, why don't we help our citizens out with a little less work at tax season each year? |
