The RATS were bussing in pro-tax protesters from MICHIGAN. I guess they had trouble finding enough morons in Tennessee to volunteer to give up 6% of every paycheck to help continue out of control spending.

Young Erin, you may have a right to be concerned about the people in your community, but you do not have the right to do something about it, WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY!!!! Erin you are still young. Live awhile, earn a living, then you will see why the people of Tennesee, are heroes today. Keep up the good fight!! Patriots of the Volunteer State!
Those that support an income tax have absolutely no idea of the inherent evil in a tax on
production...
They have absolutely no concept of the reality that exists right in front of them...
They are mental midgets...

McVay said she was encouraged to get involved by one of her college professors. Says it all!

"Wow, I can't believe it," said McVay, a college student from Michigan. "This is something we've worked really hard for."The scumocrats not only bus people from location to location to vote, they even bus them around the country to push for more taxes, LOL!!

Instead of focusing on how to raise additional revenue, perhaps their energies would have been better spent finding ways to lessen expenditures. Or is that thought inconceivable to the liberal mind?

I missed this yesterday. Did they bring it to a vote on the floor and defeat it, or might it rear it's ugly head again?

There is an answer to these people's problem. Gov. Huckabee did the right thing. All they have to do is implement a VOLUNTARY income tax. If these people want to donate money to the state's treasury--let them. Let the people exercise their "choice" if they want to donate.
We Republicans are stupid if we do not promote this idea, big time.

Answering critics who say she is an outsider with no business meddling in Tennessee politics, she said, "This is where I live and spend my money.
This is wholly inconsistent, and deserved a follup from the "reporter".

THANK YOU my fellow Tennesseans!!! We have stood up to the beast and beaten it back yet again. Perhaps with a REAL Republican in the governors office next year we can cut some spending.

They believe the state's tax structure, which relies heavily on the sales tax, is regressive because they say it takes a disproportionate share from the poor and middle class. Can they name one state where an income tax was put in, and the sales tax removed? Heck, not only do we have state and city income taxes in New York, we also have an 8.25% sales tax!

But after Camp Tax Reform put down stakes, there was a noticeable lull in the protests. Yeah, because everyone but these johnny-come-latelys knew the income tax was dead. It's laughable how the pro-tax press attributes the lull to the presense of the "camp tax reform."
