      <![CDATA[You guys are missing a few things:   You're failing to consider that Tennessee has two large cities that comprise one third of the state's  population  with half those people not paying taxes  but  receiving benefits, thus skewing the percentages. And some of you are showing your  ignorance by forgetting, or not knowing, that Tennessee is rated one of the best ran states when it comes to collecting and spending tax dollars.

      <![CDATA[It's fun to look at the overlap between states near the bottom in federal tax dollars received per tax dollars paid (as shown at wvfii's link) and the states that moved most enthusiastically to approve the 16th Amendment and implement federal taxation as we know it. (Source: <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/constamrat.html#Am16" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.usconstitution.net/constamrat.h&hellip;</a>)<br>
<br>
Among the most parasitic states today: SC (35), OK (36), MT (40), KY  (41), SD (43), AL (44), MS (49).<br>
<br>
The first 20 to ratify the taxing amendment:<br>
<br>
1 Alabama Aug 10, 1909  <br>
2 Kentucky Feb 8, 1910  <br>
3 South Carolina Feb 19, 1910  <br>
4 Illinois Mar 1, 1910  <br>
5 Mississippi Mar 7, 1910  <br>
6 Oklahoma Mar 10, 1910  <br>
7 Maryland Apr 8, 1910  <br>
8 Georgia Aug 3, 1910  <br>
9 Texas Aug 16, 1910  <br>
10 Ohio Jan 19, 1911  <br>
11 Idaho Jan 20, 1911  <br>
12 Oregon Jan 23, 1911  <br>
13 Washington Jan 26, 1911  <br>
14 Montana Jan 30, 1911  <br>
15 Indiana Jan 30, 1911  <br>
16 California Jan 31, 1911  <br>
17 Nevada Jan 31, 1911  <br>
18 South Dakota Feb 3, 1911  <br>
19 Nebraska Feb 9, 1911  <br>
20 North Carolina Feb 11, 1911  <br>
<br>
Surely the Teeps must wonder sometime: What would have made anyone vote to impose a federal income tax on the country?

      <![CDATA[This has been true for years. Tennessee couldn't balance its budget without federal dollars.<br>
<br>
And the sad part is that the state used to be so well managed that Tennessee got more bang for its state and federal buck than just about any other state in the country, which is why we have had the lowest per capita debt of any state in the nation and one of the best funded public pensions for so many years.

      <![CDATA[Considering the congress (each member) has full research capabilities via their staff and STILL rely upon lobbyist and special interest originated information, your suggestion might sound reasonable, but falls far short. The answer, and only answer is to allow ONLY public funding of campaigns, outlaw PAC money in government, and reject ANY concept of corporate citizenship and the damage that money as free speech gifts us with!<br>
<br>
That being said a significant reduction in council districts seems to be a step in the right direction.
