Marilyn Rickert was present to explain some of the intricacies of the national sales tax program promoted by Americans for Tax Reform. Although the math used to explain the benefits of their proposal was a bit difficult to understand at 8pm, the foundations of such a tax revenue program really struck a cord with most of the group. The plan rewards savings, reduces bureaucracy, eliminates government interference in personal and business financial decisions. Sounds like a win-win for me!
We are also looking at organizing a Family BBQ and Potluck, so stay tuned we’ll be sending out the details on this soon!
