Title: The Feds Want to Fix the Housing Crisis
Topic: Affordable Housing
Discussed by James Quintero
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
“Hi. I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” This is NEVER a good thing, especially when it comes to our freedom – and our money.
FACT: 25% of a home value is attributable to government regulations. This is crazy!
James Quintero, leader of TPPF’s Think Local Liberty Project, says: “This is a government induced crisis.” Today, he explains why he feels this way and what YOU can do to help.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why is James Quintero so passionate about making home prices more affordable for the average family in America, specifically Texas?
On average, how much money are Texans paying in property taxes? Do larger families pay more?
What are “pass-through property taxes”? How does this affect renters, as well as home owners? How does this affect employees of small and big businesses alike?
What did a New York Times columnist recently say about the housing crisis? Why does James believe she is wrong?
Bottom Line: Do too many Americans rely on the government for too many things?
What is the solution? James says to “get government out of the way!”

A developer plans to build three Tax-Credit Affordable Housing Projects in the greater Houston area. Are they needed? What about my property value? What about school overcrowding? What about increased crime? But doesn't Jesus ask us to help those less fortunate? Have you given to any Tsunami Disaster Relief efforts? What about this Project to help those in our own city?
