Re: ACCEPT THE TAN TAX, IT'S HERE TO STAY

No need for all of us to argue.....its just a unfair tax......and makes small businesses like us struggle more.

Re: ACCEPT THE TAN TAX, IT'S HERE TO STAY

You can talk til your blue in face about Obamacare and how unfair it is, I agree, but you ain't gonna change the tan tax or much else. It's the law of the land, the election is over, stop thinking of how your going to cheat the IRS, and move on. Your customers are paying the tax, are they complaining?

There is loopholes for food stamps and sitting on your butt living off the government....I can go on and on.
Our customer database is only 40% caucasian. Not one customer has given a rats arse about the tax. They pay it and smile.

Like Kookyguy states, ever since the tan tax was instututed, I have had maybe one person even mention the tan tax. Like everything else that's law, you soon get used to it.

Re: ACCEPT THE TAN TAX, IT'S HERE TO STAY

I don't think anybody said this adminstration, with it's new laws, isn't hurting our business, but we move on and do what we have to in order to survive. The economy has been effecting our business for the last six years, and the downtrend continues. We have to finds new ways and be more creative, for the offset of what this economy has taken away from us. The busy season for most, is just around the corner, and we must make the best of it.

Of course, both you guys are in states that tax you for getting out of bed in the morning. Unfortunately that is where we're all headed in the next four years.
