Is Texas still living up to its reputation as a model for freedom and prosperity?

In Episode 200 of the Let People Prosper Show, Vance Ginn talks with Jeramy Kitchen, president of Texas Policy Research, about the growing gap between Texas’s conservative branding and the reality of rising government spending, high property taxes, corporate welfare, and expanding bureaucracy.

They discuss:

• transparency in the Texas Legislature,
• spending growth and fiscal restraint,
• property tax reform,
• school choice,
• corporate subsidies,
• and what a truly pro-liberty Texas agenda should look like.

This milestone 200th episode is also a reflection on the importance of accountability, citizen engagement, and the protection of the principles that helped Texas prosper.
