Tennessee Ranked 47th

Tennessee is ranked 47th when it comes to its citizen's tax burden.

I, for one, am proud of such a ranking.

I believe this study is a little more encompassing than a story I pointed out back in September that stated Tennessee was ranked last.

Update: More from DocB on why he loves Tennessee.

I'm sure we could reach that #50 spot (or #1 depending on how you look at it ) if more of us just held the legislature and governor more accountible on how they spend our money. Still #47 is something we should be mighty proud of, but our work is not yet done.

One more reason for me to find a gig in Tennessee.

Of course is totally unrelated to the fact that Tennessee's public schools rate near last as well.
