Some idiots got together and made a website about the budget surplus, entitled aBig PileOfMoney.com, and they even wrote a song! It's called "Please Don't Tax Texas Again" and I encourage each and every one of you to go listen to it, it'll make your day.
Here's a few choice excerpts from the lyrics:
Well there's a Big ol' Pile of Money
Sitting not too far from here
It's called the Texas tax surplus
And they collect it every year
It's not about RepubliCANS
or even DemoCANTS
It's all about the folks of Texas
getting taxed right through the pants
eat your heart out, Burt Bacharach!
oh please no. Not more lame songs from the nutters.
It's worse than those hippy songs from the 60s.
FBW - you gotta wonder... in years where there's a deficit, would they support a special assessment to bring the budget to balance?

"It's called the Texas tax surplus

Except for the years that they don't.
