In the midst of an ever-growing discourse about states’ rights and autonomy, the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) continues to champion the cause of Texas. We cultivate conversations exemplifying how the Lone Star State carries its weight — and more — in the American economy. A new YouTube video underlines a glaring issue: precisely the federal government’s ironic relationship with Texas.
The federal government may publicly scoff at Texas, often disregarding our state’s significant contributions. Yet, interestingly enough, the feds also rely heavily on Texas-generated tax revenue. Texas, with its vast economy— the 9th largest in the world if we stood as a standalone country— is the fueling powerhouse to the Federal financial engine.
This video embedded on our website shines a spotlight on this dichotomy. It elucidates the massive taxes that Texans pay into the federal treasury, which invariably supports many services and projects across the entire United States. While our state’s resources, both natural and human-made, significantly enrich the nation, this, unfortunately, is often disregarded in the federal conversations.
Arguably, it isn’t resentment that the federal government harbors for Texas, but rather a dependency on our substantial contribution to the national economy. Our state has been an essential linchpin in driving the U.S. economy, a fact that recurs every fiscal year without fail and warrants acknowledgment.
In the spirit of promoting and perpetuating Texas’s independence and strength, we invite you to watch this revealing video. It navigates the often complex landscapes of state and federal tax revenues, offering a better understanding of where our hard-earned money goes.
At the Texas Nationalist Movement, advocacy for the rights and recognition of our state’s economic contributions remains our guiding principle. We continue to provide a steadfast voice for Texas, celebrating our resilience and contribution to this great nation while underlining the enormous benefits that would come with greater autonomy. Let the conversation persist and lets, as they say, “Remember the Alamo.”
