[HI Cobra]

Thank you David,

If the federal government would reduce taxes for the small businesses along
with regulations that do nothing except hinder progress, and simplify the tax
filing process - they might be surprised at the rebound of the economy. That
is, if the states wold do the same. i have a small business here in Hawaii that is construction related (fire suppression systems) and unfortunately the
construction business has been in the pits for over two years now. What is
their solution? Build an $8 billion fixed rail 20 miles long that will cost $300M
a year to run. No where for taxes to go but up, with less than 1 million people
to pay for it. Sad thing is, I doubt if 5% will ride it so the traffic problem will
not change.

Best of luck with your input to them - now if only they would listen!
