    You may as well face it, they all think they know better than any of us do. Not much you can do about it. Vote em out and the next guy falls right in line with the rest. Here is Oregon starting Jan. 1st they are increasing our gas tax by 6 cents a gallon. Did we get a voice in this or say, heck no the demo's just do as the dang well please.

    Ultimately it all comes down to government and big money control. Dosn't matter whose in office, they always do what they can to show us that they can do whatever they want.

    Cardboard, you want to put up a stand and sell stuff - go for it man. Deal in cash and you want have to charge tax and that'll really tick em off!!!!!!!!:cussing: You'll probably get to know a few of em on a first name basis, not that you'd want to. Seems like they like to go after the small businesses. Course having your own business you're probably already familar with all this. I used to be an independent contractor and had to do all that small business stuff. Can drive you crazy...........
