If the plaintiffs can somehow manage to win this case, the City of Birmingham should be next. Working in Birmingham is duel indemnity. I am penalized for being employed by both the city and the county. If they’re allowed to continue with the occupational tax, then we should be able to file an annual tax return against it. Besides, it’s not as if either The City of The County DESERVES any more of our money. THEY’VE PROVEN they aren’t capable of managing it. It’s time they learn to live within their means. And, I think it’s time we force them to do so by taking away their purses.
