Post #203,804 by folkert 4/18/05 4:07:25 PM Reply	To be honest I'd pay 26% IF and ONLY IF >EVERYONE< paid it. Screw this Property tax, Sales Tax, evrything else tax... If you want a FLAT TAX, I'd gladly pay it. Well not GLADLY pay it, but you knew what I meant. And no other taxes. Period. Now, I could still complain about it Being 26%, but then so would everyone else. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [image\|http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg\|\|\|\|]
