#1 Can anyone explain exactly what this "occupational tax" is?

Is it a tax based on your occupation? Based on your occupation of a store or place of business? What?

#2 Barbara, I don't know what an occupational tax is in Alabama. However, the Feds nail you if you are self-employed with an occupational tax. The government taxes your right to work. It can be significant--maxes out at something like about 13%. Ah the joy of being patriotic and paying taxes. A lot of Democrats did not pay taxes. I guess the conclusion is that they are not patriotic by Biden's standards.

#3 It's an income tax. Except some who already pay for business licenses are exempt (e.g. lawyers).
