Quote from article..."That's not what it is. It's about the carpenter. It's about the electrician. It's about the driver, the people behind the scenes. Those are jobs. Those are people who live here, who spend money here. They buy cars. They buy homes. They buy aspirin. This is money the state needs to have and needs to retain. Otherwise everyone's moving out of state."

This is the very reason that EVERYONE in the state needs to embrace the Fair Tax concept. If you put more money in the worker's pockets, they will spend more money which the state needs. Even those people that are not paying taxes currently! The only problem is that the govt. officials will lose their carrot to dangle in front of voter's noses.
