[Vision2020] The IACI and Personal Property Tax

[J Ford]

Yep, screwed up on this statement, didn't I?  "First of all, Doug F, you'd 
actually have to BE paying taxes to really have much say in anyway about 
paying taxes. "  What I meant to convey was that since Doug F does not live 
in the State of Idaho and does not pay property taxes because he DOES NOT 
OWN PROPERTY in Idaho and because he and his bunch (CC) are so against the 
government in any way,shape,or form, **I** feel he does not have much say on 
things that happen in Idaho.

It is NOT my purpose or intent to say that ONLY property owners, white 
males, "christian" pro-slave owners should be the ONLY ones allowed to vote. 
  Far from it.  I am just saying - you don't live here, don't own property 
here in Idaho you don't have a say...as I would not have a say in what 
happens in Washington, Utah, California, etc.

THAT is what I meant by my statement.  I apologize if I came across in any 
other fashion.  I do not, however, apologize to Doug F as I do not feel I 
owe him one....certainly not on this issue.
