How about some proof of how much is needed first?

I think all taxes should be doubled in Natchez and Vidalia so there will be more to steal,which is exactly what happens unless it,s given away or squandered.Raising taxes is not the answer to 99% of our countrys problems,the power structure and who handles the money is the solution, and that ain,t gonna happen in this universe.

I'm with yall...I want to see the detailed breakdown of where each penny is spent. I'm not against this tax, I just want to be assured that our elders are taken care of, as they should be. After all, they took care of us!
