Bill Hobbs takes his advocacy of a taxpayers’ bill of rights for Tennessee to its liberal opponents, with five reasons why liberals should support TaBOR:
- TaBOR will cause the state to manage its resources more wisely and set priorities – reducing wasteful spending.
- TaBOR will shield existing programs from deep cuts during future economic downturns.
- TaBOR will foster more grassroots political involvement and encourage better communication between citizens and their elected representatives.
- TaBOR will foster more trust and confidence in government.
- TaBOR will make it easier to pass a state income tax.
Arguably, the first four are good reasons for anyone to support TaBOR; regardless, go and read the whole thing.
