Fat-TAX

F E A A T E N N Nutrient for Tennessee State Revenue
A Personal Income Tax is praised as a replacement for the Antiquated and Regressive Tennessee State Sales Tax. Progressive and Modern - are the most emphasized virtues of the PITs. Consider that the Income Tax traces its roots to ancient times when peasants delivered a portion of their harvest (Income) to the feudal land baron. American Colonists were more Progressive, and enlisted for seven years to travail here and deliver All their harvest to the common store. Most of the Jamestown colonists Starved and died in six months! The "Progressive" Income Tax idea of Karl Marx, in his Communist Manifesto, hardly qualifies as modern, relative to the Sales Tax system which has funded Tennessee’s advances to prosperity. Tennessee has higher employment, technology, and prosperity than many other states, despite the pernicious former Governor Sundquist and myrmidons in state legislature. FEAATENN- From Each According (to) Ability, To Each (according to) Nutritious Need, is the bold innovation to enhance the revenue of Tennessee State Government, while abolishing regressive Sales Tax paid for food! The Federal Government already has a system to protect us from the labor of illegal aliens and deadbeat dads. Eligibility For Employment, required by the Federal Government, can be applied to require Eligibility to buy Food in Tennessee. How important is a stolen job, compared to protecting lower income citizens from starvation? Tennessee could issue: Food Authorization – Tennessee personal identification cards to every person eligible to buy food in Tennessee. The FAT card could be used to authorize food purchases, similar to an identification card required for to buy Alcohol, Tobacco, or Firearms. Poor starving children would benefit from affordable food, bought by qualified parents with their FAT card. The card would work similar to a credit card– with bar code, or magnetic identifiers of individuals which are linked to data bases that provide indexing numbers used to calculate prices. No personal information would be revealed, or violations of privacy could occur by use of these personal identifier cards at cash registers. Lower income food buyers would pay a discounted price for food, and higher income shoppers would pay a premium price, as calculated from the Personal Index Nutrition - PIN. This system would provide the needed revenue for Tennessee Government spending priorities - primarily educational. Cash register computers could easily credit the difference between the retail price, and the money collected, to the State Department Of Revenue. Stores could deduct the cost of discounted food (sold below the retail price), and enhance the nutrition of lower income people more than any piddling discount of the sales tax. The premium collected from higher index food buyers would not be a tax, and would allow State Government to operate more like a business. Personal irresponsibility could be monitored much more effectively than the spotty enforcement of seat belt and motorcycle helmet laws. Data screening can detect unhealthy purchases of Twinkie or junk food. Increase in the PIN (Personal Index Nutrition), could provide incentives for better nutrition - similar to a health tax. Social welfare case workers may visit families with severe abuses of Nutrition Index Tennessee (NIT). We can pick our children to be our most important resource, balance their diet and the budget with the nurture of natural nutrition. The Governor and his advisors are determined to teach a lesson to all public schoolchildren, with visionary budgets to fund Higher Education in the tradition of the Kennedy Space Pogrom. The major difference is that the Governor wants to keep scholars from escaping the state, rather than send them to the moon (or Huntsville, or Georgia Tech.) Best of all is the tremendous pride we display as Tennessee Volunteers! Special FAT cards could be issued to display as a badge of honor, for those with higher incomes! We can harness the pride and volunteer spirit of those who truly care about those who earn less than themselves! Anyone who has a Platinum or Gold credit card, knows the euphoria when this badge of aristocracy is presented to a cashier. Special license plates promote various causes and provide considerable revenue to the state government. Tennesseeans will jump up to untie the chains which bind them to our antiquated and regressive revenue system. Every citizen will eagerly demonstrate a volunteer spirit and register for these badges of exceptional citizenship! The Ramp Festival near Newport is the ideal event to inauguarate the ballot petition for this initiative! This area has a shining history of nurturing the spiritual needs of Nashville. Note: Tom Sawyer was able to recruit his friends to paint the picket fence without pay. This demonstrates the necessity for Minimum Wage laws to prevent people from working for free and starving to death. Privacy Laws will allow citizens to obtain family income data over the internet, to keep neighbors and employers honest. Considerable savings will be possible by reducing the Audit and Clerical staff needed for Sales Tax collection. Perhaps a thoughtful analysis can improve this humble manifesto which holds so much promise to reform the underfunded wilderness of Tennessee State Government? Every right thinking citizen desires to advance from the demeaning depths of undertaxed mediocrity. FEAATENN will enhance our stature as healthy citizens, with simple incentives and Volunteer Pride!

He was Miles Darden, who lived in Henderson County, where the town of Darden is named for him.” He was 59 years old, and was eight feet, five inches tall, when he died in 1857. He weighed one thousand pounds. “ His customary breakfast consisted of one dozen eggs, 30 biscuits with butter, a half-gallon of molasses, and 10 huge slabs of bacon all washed down with two quarts of coffee and a gallon of water.
