   Those of us in the South have always had to
   deal with lower wages since the Industrial
   Revolution began. Except for the “Professionals’.
   Doctors, Dentist, Attorneys, Accountants,
   and professional sports players. Never mind
   the fact we pay national average or above for
   essentials such as food, clothes and shelter.
   It’s no wonder Tenn. is rated one of the best
   places in the Nation to live if your wealthy,
   but 48th if your wages are in the lower middle
   class averages. State legislature must feel
   comfort in that since they never do or speak of
   any ways to improve it and it’s only lip service
   for votes if they do.

   As long as the red rules, we will be far behind other states. The GOP does not care for anyone but themselves. I have a rich friend who said, “I’ll always have health insurance because I’m rich, and I do not care about anyone else.” She forgot to say that she has used more medicare money than most people in the nation She has had every part of he body operated on, and that includes 3 brain operations.

   Yeah, well, look at the TN Legislature of good ol’ boys and the wealth heading up the State. Bredesen’s justification for his bunker was to draw more business & jobs for TN was just a cover for his ego and pandering. Business doesn’t come here because we have a fancy hall to entertain guests, they come here for tax cuts and low wages. How many jobs could have been saved with the $X millions of public money that went into it (yes, I understand much of it was paid for with private money which makes me wonder what kind of markers were passed out to get those funds).

   Hey Blue, he’s one of yours. Hope you are getting fresh cheese for your whines.

   Southernindie…Unfortunately you have suffered a dibilitating memory loss! Your “Blue” boy Dems have run this state for 150 years without interruption until two years ago….and to a degree they still do through Gov. Phil Bredesen (D-TN) so….trust me Mouthy Southy…we in the GOP are going to make so real change that you can believe in…real soon!

   In our good state a select few run the
   place, 20 yrs ago and today. Sure, we
   change a few of the elected one’s every
   now and then and Yes some go to jail or
   resign in scandal occasionally, but all
   remains the same.
