Something to Smile About


Last night , WSMV 's on the street segment mentioned 22 entities that do not pay taxes. Vanderbilt got an honorable mention. When ya talk about Vanderbilt , ya gotz to be careful or they will keep you out of the sports games so you can't report on them.
What were some of the things WSMV was careful about in not mentioning ?

Vanderbilt is probably Tennessee's largest land owner. Ya see , when people die , they give their property away to Vanderbilt thinking it will help. They even give their bodies to science , located in a Vanderbilt classroom where they get chopped up and/or made fun of. And of course , these people even give their furniture to Vanderbilt. You would not believe the antique furniture that goes to rot in some basement because bigshots at Vandy can't have it in their house , so they get pissy and let it rot. Yep , there have been some interesting fights over an old piece of wood.

Vanderbilt has the lobby folks on capital hill to cater to any politician that will help them raise another tax free million. This includes having Vanderbilt Air Ways at their convenience. All tax and duty free of course.

Remember , Vanderbilt is a for profit buisness with tax excempt status. Remember that when you need medical care and all you have is one of Bredesen's HMO's
