Daniel Alders, a Republican member of the Texas State House representing the 6th district, expressed criticism of government size and complexity in a series of posts on his X (formerly Twitter) account in April 2026.
On April 12, Alders posted a brief message responding to an unspecified topic: “Quite *literally* not.”
As Tax Day approached, Alders voiced his opposition to large government. On April 15, he wrote: “Join me today in hating big government more than ever. #TaxDay”
Later that same day, Alders addressed tax policy and the Internal Revenue Service: “Remember when it was cool to talk about a simple, flat tax? Let’s make simplifying the tax code great again. The IRS should not need 75,000 employees.”
Alders was elected to the Texas State House in 2025, succeeding Matt Schaefer as representative for District 6. He has used social media platforms to share his views on fiscal policy and government operations.
