Cheer up. There is going to be plenty of money to be had. Gov S here in CA is asking/demanding/pleading for a 1 and one half percent sales tax to be added to what was just raised to 9.25 this last Oct. 1, 2008 in L.A. county. And the voters here just aproved a bullet train tax on top of all that. So that makes sales tax here in L.A. county 10.75 plus the bullet train tax! Tax Tax Tax.... from a Republican governor... Things must be really bad if a Rep. starts raising taxes. So what does this have to do with EDIG? Raising taxes in a down spiraling ecomomy just makes things worse for sales of every kind IMO, including the IFE products. Unless the products are purchased by the goverment (who is making/getting the money) or the products are perceived to be absolutly needed ( I can't imagine anyone thinking a cell phone is not needed these days ) sales of "things" are going to suffer. The good news is that EDIG can sell their IFE products in another country and avoid sales taxes.
