Speak into my good ear
Ah yes, he's some misleading spin if I've ever seen it ... even if it is subtle.
Glenn Richardson is touting a poll which says that 58 percent of Georgians favor the Glenn Tax. Sounds simple enough, right?
Well ... take a look at that question ...
As you may know, the Georgia legislature is considering putting a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would eliminate all property taxes — including taxes on homes, commercial property and personal property items such as cars and trucks.
This revenue would be replaced by eliminating nearly all sales tax exemptions, and make the 4 percent state sales tax include services. Knowing what you do, do you favor or oppose this constitutional amendment?
Now 'knowing what you do' ... would you support it? Well, hell yeah man! Property taxes are awful and sales taxes rule!
Did you notice what was left out ... rather conveniently left out I might add?
The fact that all revenue will flow through Atlanta and then be doled out by the Georgia General Assembly.
Why doesn't the Speaker insert the appropriate language about this thing stripping away local control and then reintroduce the question? Until he does, this poll is a sham.
