Quote History Quoted:I love it when people who have never lived in the north just regurgitate the same tired stereotypes about northerners and politics.
There are plenty of southern politicians screwing their constituents. Take good look at B'ham and the surrounding cities. Tarrant City, for example, has a 10% sales tax rate: 4% state, 2% county, and 4% city.
I used to pay a 1% "occupational tax" on my gross earnings just for the privilege of working in B'ham 20 years ago. I suppose that's a northern thing too, huh?

We had a customer come in yesterday that was about 54 years old that had never completed a 4473. He was from the northeast. I asked him what brought him to Georgia, and he said the cost of living in Connecticut was too high.
I paid local income tax when I worked in Cleveland, Ohio.
My brother left Pennsylvania for Texas because of the property taxes he paid.
Between income taxes, sales tax, and property taxes, Georgia could be better, but it still seems like we're better off than most northern states are.
