The Tea party folks I know will not even post against this Tax increase much less demonstrate.

Katcol You are correct we did not always have a sales tax, I believe that Talmage (Democrat) was the governor to have a sales tax late 40's or early 50's It was .01 cent which has since grew to .04 cents for the State at the present time, Soon that was not enough revenue, So the Legislature gave the County the option to pass through voter approval "Special Local Option Sales Taxes" A .01 cent SPLOST SALES TAX was added to the County General fund, Then that was not enough, So the County was given the option to have two other SPLOST SALES TAXES one for Education, And one for the county to buil

First in simple terms the tax payers of georgia will be paying $ 1 billion Dollars in additional taxes ,which for the first time includes a sales tax on all the services as outlined in the previous post. In addition all groceries will be taxable The tax rate for state income taxes for 2012 will be reduced from 6% to 5% and at the same time certain exemptions such as itemized deductions,Dependent exemptions, Childcare,earned income credit will be adjusted among other things(as I understand stand it and I may be wrong) no itemized deductions on the state form, Only a Standard deduction,In a

Here is a list of those services that will now be taxed, That is presently not taxed.This list does not include the taxes that you will now pay on all groceries, Not does it explain that you will lose a lot of the deductions that you now enjoy when filing your State Return 11 LC 18 9816 H. B. 385 - 37 - 1228 (a) Services provided for under subparagraph (D.1) of paragraph (31) of Code Section 1229 48-8-2 means the following: 1230 (1) Clothing services, including: 1231 (A) Shoe repair and other shoe services; 1232 ( Repair, alteration, and tailoring for clothing and accessories; 1233

I agree with you on this, And so will most other working class folks if they would only take the time to read house bill 385. Most people are not aware of what all is contained in this bill. http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/display.aspx?Legislation=33187 I hope at least everyone will read the first two pages, And look at the scope of what all this bill covers.

Free Bird you are much smarter than that...I think The current .04 cent sales tax plus the additional taxes on services only provide 6.3 billion and the budget stil cannot be balanced at the current level. To raise an additional 7.3 Billion to eliminate the State income tax would require a massive increase in the tax rates, in the area of .06 cents for a total sales tax rate for the state,County around .15 cents which would include the .02 cents proposed road tax increase for 2012. What was your representive smoking?

I would be for the abolition of all taxes, But such is not a realistic approach, Nothing in this bili even mentions such a vision, Fact is the bill as written will not even assure a 2% by 2014. Data shows that at the present time this bill will bring in 1 billion additional tax dollars/ The current tax being collected is $15.1 billion of which $7.3 billion is State income taxes and $5.3 billion is the current sales tax. Did your friend by any chance tell you where the $ 7.3 Billion was going to come from?

You must not of read the link that I posted??? If you take away all the exemptions Such as Mortage interest, Most people will still pay more taxes even with the percent cut. This is nothing but a shell game to collect ONE BILLION more dollars from the Georgia tax payers

The special interest groups are the reason that the Illegals are paying no taxes, Why not treat all workers alike, If yopu work for someone they deduct State, Federal, And sometimes City and County taxes. If EVERY EMPLOYER were required to deduct all taxes from an employees paycheck, Then this would eliminate the need for additional taxes from the rest of the working class.

I really do not know how, But if you do then good for you, I am proud for you, BUT................ This tax adjustment that is on the table will bring in one BILLION YEP ONE BILLION dollars in additional revenue to the State of Georbia Next year, And Someone has got to pay a Billion dollars more in taxes

Are you excited about this? Scroll down to page 12 and let's see how excited you remain. http://fiscalresearch.gsu.edu/taxcouncil/downloads/Presentation%20to%20the%20Joint%20Comm%202%202%2011%20v2003.pdf Are you still excited after losing all of your tax deductions? And having to pay more for groceries and other services,not presently taxed.

After almost five years of frustation,It is past time for a little name calling. And it is past time for Surepip to have his day in court, Let a jury of his peers make the decision ASAP

There are certain Facts to consider in this thread that it appears that certain posters are okay with. 1 a law suit was filed almost five years ago and has yet to be heard in a court of law. 2 Paulding County Board of Commissioners have spent a reported $1,300,000 and the original case has still not been heard, and to my knowledge has not been scheduled to be heard? 3 A hearing was scheduled this past Wednesday to determine not if the County owed Surepip money But rather how much they owed him for a violation of a State law (anti slap) 4 Some post in this thread plainly show th

Over the past few years there have been many posts relating to the law suits filed by Surepip. Well the wait is finally over; On Wednesday January 26 the case is finally scheduled to be heard in Judge Tony Beaver’s courtroom. Looking forward to attending this hearing, Good luck Surepip on the outcome.

You really have no clue what you are talking about, He did buy the property, And they took part of it, And he went through the normal channels to get what he was entitled per the zoning hearing. The Board of Commissioners spent a reported one million dollars in legal fee's to keep him from having his day in court,Which has cost surepip hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fee's just to protect his property that he had bought and paid for. WTH would you have done???? The law provides for all citizens to have a level playing field,When seeking redress from a government enity. You sh
