Last month, I wrote a post on a subject near and dear to my heart, Jack Daniels. Some lunatic in Moore County Tennessee wants to impose further taxes on the brewery. Now we have a lawmaker in Michigan, of all places, inviting them to move north and try out Michigan’s “abundant fresh water and business friendly tax code.” I have many associations which come to mind when I think about my former home state of Tennessee. The Jack Daniels distillery is one of the first. However, if the county gets greedy and tries to strongarm them just because they are THE business in that area, I really hope Jack Daniels packs it in and moves, leaving the greedy tax grabbing wannabes high and dry.
