The Money in Texas has been very misdirected.

For so much money to go to serve the purpose of lobbying and paying the legislature while there are so many counties struggling for money in Texas is absurd. I know in Hays County they are very in need of money, the police department targets the college kids in the city because they are the ones that have money to pay the city or at least their parents do. While the students are doing their part in the community by spending money in shops and boosting the economy, they are being targeted to spend more.

Our Government instead of placing limits on the amount of political spending they make their money up elsewhere like in the form of taxes and fees. After studying lobbying it revealed the corruptness that exists in the under workings of the Government, now bribing is legal as long as you are a registered lobbyist. With the population growing especially in big areas such as Austin and San Antonio more and more schools are needing to be built and expanded on, but because a lack of funding for repairs some schools are being closed at the same time.

Most people don’t have a clue what the majority of the money they pay every year in taxes goes directly to, but for a candidate to reveal and repair these injustices would be a huge issue. Yes some of the money in campaigns is donated or raised but a lot of it is pulled from groups and different agencies that really shouldn’t have to be spending it. If you don’t play the game in Texas and spend the necessary money you and your policy goals will never make it. Texas candidates claim to need so much money to run a campaign in a state the size of Texas, but their name recognition could probably be raised by spending the money that would be used on the campaign to change the direction of big spending in Texas.
