The current system is nothing but a drain and a burden on our market based capitalist economy. A simple, straight forward sales tax will boast the economy immediately and more importantly, for our children in the future. Thanks for your time, Mike Brooks Mike Brooks 447 Justice Cedar Hill, Texas 75104-9040 home- 972-293-0811 cell- 469-337-6898 mabrooks@sbcglobal.net
