Tax or no tax look at the bigger picture. I'll tell you an long story that will be relavent sorta.

2002 I was entering the learning/ competative DB arena. I did kinda ok with an SQ system against the heavy db guys. Again being into Memphis gear I find out the I can aply and be rewarded by the Memphis people for my acomlishments. Cool a new shirt and stickers. I was ignored in 2002. Ok I was lost in the shuffle. 2003 I learned of IASCA and James and start my learning curve in SQ my true love. I do much better and more than qualify to become an Memphis member again. I was again flat out ignored. Now I did go to Finals in 03 and placed well enough to get a little atention. Then and only then, posibly that I had the sweetest little car on the floor did they take notice and I made an conection/ pulled a favior. But why I'm not born or live in the U.S. Befor the U.S. guy yell at me I did marry an Californian and love you guys. But the writtings on the wall.

The sponsers are much more generios in the U.S. and they should be it's there family. I had the privilage to do events in the U.S. kinda like diferent rules. Hell my amp that I use now in DB drags was an gift when I was down there.

Yes our government shelters us an cuts us out of that loop. More competators mean more sales=better rates. For you dealers in Canada my hats of to you. Making an living an keeping our fun alive. It's cheeper do do our thing down south end of story.
