What makes me so damn mad about it all is that the first thing they want to cut is TennCare. My infant daughter relies on TennCare. If it weren't for the State of Tennessee, she'd be without insurance. So, all you damned Republicans need to look her in the face and tell her that you want her to be without a safety net. Oh yes, we also rely on WIC for much of the food she eats each month. Tell me that we aren't contributing to society - My husband lost his job in February. I'm about to complete a degree in Computer Science and my husband is studying to become a college professor. So FUCK YOU.
Whew.
You know, we HAVE to have revenue. Yes, every opponent of the income tax harps on the fact that we need to cut spending. I can think of a good place to start... Let's get rid of the Titans, Predators, Nashville Super Speedway UT Football (we can keep Vandy athletics, because obviously they don't spend much on them, rofl.) You think that the State doesn't contribute heavily to these organizations??? WRRRRROOOONNNGGGG!
Then, lets cut out pork barrel, like the nice new high speed road running to Don Sundquist's summer home. Bet a couple of schools could stay open longer with that money.
Did you know that the State of Tennessee has the same economic rating that Enron had right before they filed bankruptcy? I agree that we need better spending, but FUCK! You've GOT to have money, folks! It's not rocket science.
This subject really riles me up, especially since I live in one of the poorest counties in Tennessee, yet somehow a heavily Republican one. These people live and die for the GOP, but whine and groan because our schools suck eggs. JEEBUS.
