#2 Thank you Mrs. D. We did have a bit of a "tax reform" scare a couple of years ago. The outgoing Gov., Emperor Don, as I call him, was dead set on an income tax. A few bricks through the Capitol's and the Emperor's windows realigned their priorities. I had a nice view of the festivities from across the street. The whole state rose up to fight that one. Excepting Memphis which is our own little welfare enclave.

#3 Having lived in Tennessee for the last 14 years I do appreciate the low taxes. I lived in Boston, New York City, and Portland Oregon. Oregon has no sales tax but the income tax and property taxes were extreme. When I was in Boston the income tax was pretty high, too. Off topic, Hillbilly, I'll be at the Battle of Franklin the first weekend in October.

#4 Mr. Blues: participant or spectator? No Titans home game that weekend so traffic should be good.

But wait! Auburn is at UT that weekend! You're not going to Neyland?

#5 I'll be a Cavalry trooper in the Confederate Army except for one scenario where we all dress Union. Th Tigers will have to get along without me.

#6 What about Alaska? Doesn’t the state pay residents oil royalties? Shouldn’t that be factored into a state/local tax rate?

#7 5032, I thnk the numbers were calculated to make Massachusetts look good. Mass fell to 40 and the report is released by a Boston based business group. It appears to me that a Boston-based business group decided that massaging the stats would be good for a Boston-based business group.
