No state income tax, favorable, mild weather throughout the year, excellent geography (near the center of America), and plenty of jobs and cheap housing. TN is literally a gold mine, and if Gov Doyle is re-elected by brain-dead cheeseheads here in WI, I'm hitting the road.
Not for long. Many companies moving into to TN, bringing in many wealthy liberals. Property taxes are bound to go up, and slowly freedoms will be restricted.
Tennessee is on the fast track to socialism. I predict it will be as bad there in 10 years as Wisconsin is now. No income tax (yet) but high sales tax including food items. Tennesseans living along the borders of Alabama and Kentucky buy their groceries out of state.
