As a point of reference, our joint gross income exceeds $200K per year, but thanks to Alabama's income tax system, we have not paid a single penny in state income tax in the last 8 years. We have received a full refund of all AL withholdings. Something ain't right. I hate taxes as much as anyone else, but I do think the grocery tax should eliminated.

This is the first place that I've seen anything that says that "an overwhelming majority of taxpayers will be paying more money in taxes." If that's the case, will you please provide us with the information that reflects that? I want to take it to the Governor and ask why he's once again lying to us.

But the state doesn't get the largest revenue increase in the history of the state? Must be because it is accompanied by tax cuts. If this is the largest tax increase in the history of the state it is also <b>THE LARGEST TAX CUT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR STATE.</b> No way around that. Double taxation? Double taxation is all over. Sales tax is double taxation since we are paying sales tax that we have already paid income tax on. And this bill would cut back on that double taxation. It's not how many times you are taxed, it's how much you pay in taxes, and Alabama overall pays the lowest. This bill doesn't change that. The largest tax increase in the history of the state?

I hope John Knight and his other graft buddies are able to find another source to launder their proceeds, but it aint gonna be this bill. I think the FBI been sniffing round the pigsty. class warfare is too tame a name for this marxist garbage.
