Ad tax is very unfair, and a means to justify so called budget changes to bring in more revenue; by squashing the little guy!

Sean i could not agree with you more. The fact is that the tax actually takes more out of the system than ads as well as hurting small business. Many people have turned to affiliate marketing in the down economy to supplement their income.
It is imperative that everyone now matter what size or state they are in to get involved.
