The governor of Alabama is trying to restructure the state's gawdawful mega-regressive tax system by shifting the burden around -- that is to say that he is raising taxes. That's not so unusual... until you realize he's a right-wing Republican.
I read through the article and applaud what he's doing. He's not really raising taxes, he's just shifting the burden of the extremely poor and on to the rich. It's not really a money-making scheme for the state; people will pay less in taxes across the board. It's a very GOP plan for raising taxes.
