Call for Income Tax Spurs Legislative Action

The Tennessee Tax Structure Study Commission's recommendation that the legislature levy a new income tax is already spurring legislative activity - to pass an amendment to the state constitution to explicitly ban the income tax. Hah.

(For a full treatment of the constitutionality of a state income tax in Tennessee, scroll down to my Dec. 15 post titled "Liars," or click here. You should also visit my Taxpayers Bill of Rights and Tennessee Budget & Tax Policy archives.

Bill, one of the more laughable arguments used by Tennesseans for More Taxation is that supposedly more citizens will save under an income tax. How can they know what we are spending under a sales tax now, since it is a consumption tax? Do they have some crystal ball? I doubt the supposed savings I get from retail and groceries will be more than the amount I get robbed out of my check.
