lottery

Why do you care what Alabama does?

But the poor will save on gas money by not having to drive to the state lines plus,  I don't believe the poor are required to buy lottery tickets and should know better.  I'm not poor and occasionally will buy one just for entertainment and don't expect to win.

"Also, don't believe the property tax stories. I have a plot of land in Alabama that appraises at $15,000, I can't sell it for $10,000 and I pay $164 property tax to Alabama. Tennessee rates are not that high. BTW, this land is 1/2 mile from the school." 

Believe it or not, Alabama has more than one school.  I happen to know this because I've attended five of them.

It sounds as if Jt is fine with "taxing the poor" if it's his state doing it and his family benefitting.

Nailed it. No one matters to a demoslop except themselves.

I've been reading about Gov Bentley calling for a special session to have a vote on a lottery to mainly help Alabama's general fund.  Alabama has an income tax, but instead of increasing tax on those who have the ability to pay more, he wants a lottery to help the poor pay more.  My advice is, from someone who lives in a state without an income tax, vote it down so the Alabama money spent in Tennessee on the lottery will keep helping my grandkids pay for college.                                                                                                                                      Also, don't believe the property tax stories. I have a plot of land in Alabama that appraises at $15,000, I can't sell it for $10,000 and I pay $164 property tax to Alabama. Tennessee rates are not that high. BTW, this land is 1/2 mile from the school. 

Alabama state income tax goes towards the education budget and not the general fund which is in the most trouble. I really don't care if we get a lottery or not; it's a voluntary tax. I don't think it will help in the long run because it will extract money from people on the goobermint teat who can't afford to play which will cause them to demand more goobermint services. It will enrich the contractors operating the system though.

I read it jt, and she asked what I always asked, you live in TN what does anything that goes on in Alabama have to do with you? Tend to TN business. Owning a "plot" of land doesn't give you the right to stick your nose in.

Read it, question still stands.

I condensed a 4 year education into 6.

I read it jt, and she asked what I always asked, you live in TN what does anything that goes on in Alabama have to do with you? Tend to TN business. 

When I drive to town, I almost always turn south into Alabama, I always use Alabama doctors and hospitals, while I worked, I paid Alabama nonresident tax for about 40 years. Odds and ends of stuff like that. From the way your elected people are tending to Alabama business, somebody needs to tend to Alabama business. Y'all keep reelecting the same incompetent ones. 

jt didn't own the land.

Another of your lies, or was that satire? Satire is when you tell an unbelievable lie, isn't it?

Our elected people and the rest of us must be doing something right, you can't stay away. Why don't you use TN doctors and hospitals? Again, Alabama must be doing something that suits your nosey ***. Typical demoslop, griping about people that help you. Alabama's business is just that, Alabama's business. Just who do you pay taxes to on that plot of land you have? Again, it would keep you busy if you tended to TN business. We go to TN all the time, but that doesn't give me the right to stick my nose into their politics and I don't use their doctors and hospitals.

Just who do you pay taxes to on that plot of land you have?                                         At the Lauderdale county court house. I think it's Hendrix?

Sorry, satire is a half man/half goat, playing a Pan flute while looking for nekkid women.
