It's pretty obvious that article is entirely flawed has it's been pointed out in prevoius post.

They've been trying to pass an income tax here in the State of Tennessee for the last three years. It came with in 2 votes of passing this last year, but failed. Our new Governor has vowed no more push for an income tax until at least the next term. He actually came in and tried something new for a change. He cut spending across the board by 9.5 percent! Quite novel in the world of politics in this day and age. I might add that he is a DEMOCRAT and he got my vote in the last election. The prevouis governor was a REPUBLICAN, who pushed for the State Income tax. He was roundly critized through out the state for that too. I don't think we've had a more unpopular Governor since Parson Brownlow, during Reconstruction.

BTW, that line about the death of the middle class is a bunch of hooey! As a family with three children, we'll be getting back around $900 to put back into the economy and that's what we plan to do with it! We're going to use it for Vacation!!!
