Kudos to the Georgia Department of Revenue for giving those poor people a tax break and incentives. I watched the storms and flooding on the news last month, and it looked horrible, like Katrina part 2. Maybe it wasn’t as severe, but for a family who lost everything, this must be a small relief, and obviously the ramifications for the construction industry must be good too.

We need to pay our taxes, because it is the way of growing one's community. Taxes are one of the most important issues facing small and growing businesses. And like a company’s profits, its annual tax bill will in part reflect the owner’s skills and knowledge.
